Second combine Wet Ingredients: in a separate bowl, whisk together the oil, applesauce, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth then combine Wet and Dry: gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cake dense.

If desired, garnish with extra chopped nuts or a light dusting of cinnamon.
