APPLESAUCE, RAISIN AND NUT CAKE
This is an old recipe that my grandma got off of a VB apple sauce can. She always iced it with plain boiled icing. If you can't find pastry flour, you can mix you own by combining cake flour and all-purpose flour in a ratio somewhere between two parts cake flour to one part all-purpose and one part cake flour to one part all-purpose.

APPLESAUCE & RAISIN CAKE
Found in the All*You Magazine from March 2009. A nice moist cake with the fun of a pretty glaze. I've made this with both raisins and dried cranberries and they both work really well. Feel free to use what suits your tastebuds the best. It is a great cake to have when you expect company as it is light and goes great with a mug of coffee.
