Applesauce Cake

 This Applesauce Cake is great to serve

 for afternoon tea or anytime visitors drop by.

Moist, light and packed with flavour.

I got the recipe from an Old Five Roses cookbook.

I substituted the shortening for butter

 and the raisins for nuts.

Preheat Oven to 350deg. F.

Prepare your pan.

I grease a tube pan and

line the bottom with waxed paper. 

Can also be made in a 8" square pan. 

Ingredients:

1 1/4 cups flour

1/2 tsp. salt

1 tsp.  of each, baking powder,

baking soda, nutmeg,

 cinnamon and 1/2 tsp. allspice.

1/2 cup softened butter, 

3/4 cup brown sugar,

1 egg

1 cup applesauce

1 cup pecans, walnuts or raisins. 

Instructions:

Whisk all the dry ingredients 

together in a large bowl.

With a mixer cream the butter with 

the sugar, until light and fluffy.

Add in egg and mix well.

Add the butter/sugar mixture, 

to dry ingredients,  alternating 

 with the applesauce.

Fold in the nuts.

Place the batter in pan and bake 40-50 minutes,

until a toothpick inserted in the middle

comes out clean. 

Cool 10 minutes before removing from pan.

When completely cooled,

I sprinkled with icing sugar.

Applesauce can be made with many varieties of apples.

 

I used my Transparent Apples for the applesauce.
