GRANDMA'S ONE BOWL MOLASSES APPLESAUCE CAKE



Grandma's One Bowl Molasses Applesauce Cake image

My Mom has been making this for 20 years. This is a very dense, moist cake, maybe closer to a pound cake, but that's what I like about it. We added the raisins to the recipe, so you could omit them. I also like to add Walnuts, some day I may also add some coconut. This is great warm or cold.
