Steps
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a small baking dish.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, mix the strawberry syrup, applesauce, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool for a few minutes before dusting with powdered sugar, if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
