PAULA DEEN'S APPLESAUCE CAKE



Paula Deen's Applesauce Cake image

I needed to use up some applesauce so I tried this recipe from Christmas with Paula Deen. I did sift my ingredients, but I didn't grate my own fresh nutmeg (there's a kitchen gadget to put on my list). I used real butter instead of shortening. The house smells delicious, and this is great with vanilla ice cream!

I remember always looking forward to going to her house because we'd always end up in the kitchen together.
