Make the cakes: Heat oven to 400°F. Butter and flour 24 3 1/2-ounce cake molds or 2 12-cup cupcake tins and set aside.

Sift the flour, baking soda, salt, and cardamom together and set aside.

Beat the eggs and sugar together using a mixer set on medium-high speed until the mixture forms a thick ribbon when the beaters are lifted from the bowl. Reduce speed to low and mix in the vanilla and applesauce. Add 1/2 cup of the melted butter, sour cream, and zest and beat until combined. Gradually add the flour mixture and mix until smooth.
