This is a fabulous recipe from a lady who is no longer with us. It is an old recipe and our family has enjoyed this cake for as long as I can remember! This is different in that you heat the applesauce, let it cool a bit and then slowly stir in the baking soda. Everyone always requests this recipe so you know you want to make it!!!

How To Make heavenly applesauce cake
-
1In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and allspice. Set aside.
-
2In a saucepan, heat applesauce, remove from stove to cool slightly. SLOWLY, stir in the baking soda and stir until baking soda is dissolved. Set aside.
-
3In a small bowl, add nuts with a little flour. Stir to coat nuts. In another small bowl do the same with the raisins OR soak them in whiskey. In a third small bowl, add the drained and halved cherries.
-
4In a large bowl, cream the Crisco. Slowly add sugar and cream together until light and fluffy. Add the applesauce mixture and vanilla. With mixer on medium, beat until well blended together.
-
5Add eggs to the creamed mixture and beat well. Slowly, add flour mixture and mix well. With a spoon, fold in nuts, then cherries, and last the raisins. If soaked in whiskey, you don't have to drain the raisins; the choice is yours.
-
6Bake in a preheated 300 degree oven 1 hour and 15 minutes. Note that the thickness of your pan influences total baking time. Best to check as ovens vary too.
