APPLE SAUCE CAKE

Sis. Debi Wilhoit

Royal Oak Ecclesia, Michigan


This is a long time Wilhoit family favorite recipe.

1 3/4 cups sifted flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1/2 cup shortening

1 egg

1 1/4 cups Applesauce

1 cup raisins

Nuts (optional)

Sift together flour, baking soda, salt and spices. Beat in large bowl of electric mixer brown sugar, shortening and egg until light and fluffy. Mix in dry ingredients alternately with apple sauce. Stir in raisins and nuts. Pour into greased 8-inch square pan. (I always like to use those small foil loaf pans to make like bread.)

Bake in 375 degree oven 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean. Serve warm or cool. Can be topped with light powdered sugar.
