Method

1
Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat to 325°F (160°C). Line an 8-inch-square metal baking pan with a long strip of parchment to cover the bottom and 2 of the sides, then grease with cooking spray.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and baking soda. In a large bowl, whisk together applesauce, oil, honey, sugar, eggs, ginger, lemon zest, vanilla, and salt. Add flour mixture to applesauce mixture and whisk until just combined.
3
Using a rubber spatula, transfer batter to prepared pan and smooth top. Sprinkle evenly with crystallized ginger and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Bake until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes, rotating pan halfway through baking.
4
Let cake cool in pan on wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove cake from pan, discarding parchment, and let cool completely on rack, about 2 hours. Serve.
