Applesauce Cake

Applesauce can be subbed when a recipe calls for oil. This will help cut out some of the fat and make it a little less sinful!


1½ cups raisins

¾ tsp. nutmeg

½ cup shortening

¾ cup nuts, chopped

1½ cup brown sugar

1½ T. cinnamon

3 eggs

¾ tsp. cloves

1½ cup applesauce (1 can)

3 cups flour

1½ tsp. baking soda

¾ tsp. salt


Cover raisins with boiling water and set aside so raisins can plump. Cream sugar and shortening. Add eggs and beat. Add applesauce and mix well. Add dry ingredients and stir well. Stir in raisins and nuts. Bake at 325º for 45 minutes, until done.
