GRANDMA'S ONE BOWL MOLASSES APPLESAUCE CAKE
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.

My grandmother occasionally brought over this wonderful cake warm from the oven. The spicy apple flavor combined with the sweet cream cheese frosting made this recipe one that we treasured. Even though I've lightened it up, it's still a family favorite. -Lauris Conrad, Turlock, California
