My Gramma Stepp used to make the best Applesauce cake, I believe this might be the closest to her recipe that she used. Virginian's use a lot of the Amish recipes. Hugs, Janet Amish Applesauce Cake 1/2 cup butter 1 cup granulated or brown sugar 1 cup applesauce 1 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon cloves 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon allspice 1 cup raisins 1/4 cup chopped nuts
Cream butter; add sugar, beat until light. Add egg; beat until fluffy. Add applesauce; mix well. Sift together flour, salt, baking powder, soda, cloves, cinnamon and allspice. Add nuts and raisins. Combine two mixtures. Bake in a greased 8-inch square pan at 350 degrees F for 40 to 45 minutes. Frost with vanilla or chocolate frosting, if desired. -- Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore
