Apple Butterscotch Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 cup all-purpose flour (I use unbleached)
    3/4 cup whole wheat flour
    3/4 cup sugar
    1/4 cup ground flax seed or 1/4 cup wheat germ
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice or 1 teaspoon cinnamon
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    3 large eggs, beaten
    1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
    1/2 cup canola oil
    2 large golden delicious apples, coarsely grated (about 2 cups, packed, I used 3 medium apples and peeled them first)
    1/3 cup butterscotch chips
Preparation
    Whisk together flours, sugar, flaxseed, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
    Whisk together eggs, applesauce, and oil in another bowl. Stir in apples until well-blended.
    Pour liquid ingredients over dry ingredients and stir just until moistened. Stir in butterscotch chips.
    Pour batter into a 13x9 pan that has been coated with cooking spray. Smooth with a rubber spatula.
    Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven about 35 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. (Watch carefully, mine was done at 26 minutes).
    Cool on a wire rack before cutting.
