My Mom got this recipe from a little German lady at Lake Quinault, WA, right after WWII. It was a constant in our house, when I was growing up, as it was my Dad's favorite! Mom served it unfrosted, as it was so nice and moist! Do not overbake, to prevent it becoming too dry.

How To Make mom's applesauce cake
-
1Cream together butter and sugar.
-
2Add eggs and mix well,
-
3Sift together flour, cinnamon, cloves and baking soda, and add in to butter/sugar mixture. (It will be thick, like cookie dough.)
-
4Mix in raisins and nuts, and hot applesauce (I heat in small saucepan on stove, but microwave should work, also). Hot applesauce will thin down the dough into a batter.
-
5Pour into a 9" x13" baking pan (sprayed with Baker's Joy, or greased and floured)
-
6Bake at 350* for 45 to 50 minutes, until toothpick comes out clean. Start checking at 40 minutes. Cake is best if slightly underdone.
-
7Serve plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or frost with cream cheese icing. I grew up eating it plain.
