Hi Dixie,
Here is my Grandmother's Applesauce Cake recipe. It is delicious; in
fact, it's my daughter, Molly's favorite cake. When it is baking in
your kitchen, your whole house smells like Christmas!
It is different from the one from your childhood though, because this
one bakes in a tube pan, and it includes raisins and nuts. In fact,
my aunt turned it into a delicious fruit cake, and I have also made
and enjoyed that variation, as well.
Enjoy!

Grandmother's Applesauce Cake
You can wrap this cake in brandy-soaked cheesecloth, and it will keep
for a month. You can also soak dried or candied fruit and/or nuts in
brandy or rum for several days, drain the fruit, and add it to this
batter, for the best fruitcake you've ever enjoyed.
Cream together 1 cup butter and 2 cups sugar.
Beat in 2 eggs.
Stir in 2 cups raisins and 1 cup walnuts. (Note: Nuts will taste
even better if you toast them in the microwave for 2 minutes first!).
Stir in 1 cup white wine and 2 cups applesauce.
Add 3 cups flour, 2 tsp. Baking soda, 1 tsp. Each cinnamon, nutmeg,
and vanilla extract and 1/4 tsp. Salt.
Grease and flour your pan(s), either 1 10-inch tube pan, or 2-3 9x5" loaf pans.
Bake at 325 for 2 hours.
Enjoy! This cake makes your whole house smell like Christmas.

I am looking for an applesauce cake recipe.
About 40 years ago my grandmother would serve us Applesauce cake. It was a
sheet cake, quite dense in texture and it had a vanilla frosting. I don't
remember any fruit or nuts in the cake, but there was a sprinkling of
walnuts atop the frosting.
If anyone has a similar recipe I sure would appreciate it.
Thanks so much!
Dixie
