Applesauce Breakfast Cake

Recently I spent more than a few days with my BFF and became aware how much my eating habits have changed. I eat breakfast every day and try to put some protein in there at every meal. I would probably serve this with eggs and perhaps add more nuts. This cake sounds spectacular but I have no applesauce in the house so it will have to wait.
