Applesauce Cake

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease an 8-inch square pan with butter or margarine and dust with flour to prevent the cake from sticking.

Step 2

In a large bowl, beat the butter or margarine and sugar at medium speed until pale yellow and fluffy, about 1 to 2 minutes. (This process is called creaming the butter and sugar.)

Step 3

Beat in the applesauce until combined. Stir in the flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and ground cloves.

Step 4

Add in the raisins and walnuts.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the greased or lined pan and bake for 40 minutes.

Step 6

Let the cake cool in the pan, about 10 minutes, before slicing. Serve warm. Enjoy!
