Instructions
1. Preheat oven and prepare pan:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9 x 13 inch (23 x 33 cm) pan with nonstick spray or butter and lightly dust with flour. Set aside.
2. Prepare the cake batter:
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with the granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Gradually add the eggs, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the Greek yogurt and applesauce. Mix until combined, but be careful not to overmix.
3. Bake the cake:
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool slightly while you prepare the frosting.
4. Make the frosting:
In a small saucepan, combine the butter, water and granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved, stirring occasionally.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Spread the frosting over the cake:
While the cake is still warm, prick the cake with a skewer or fork.
Slowly pour the hot frosting over the warm cake, allowing it to soak into the holes and spread evenly over the surface.
Allow the cake to cool completely in the tin before slicing and serving.
