I am posting this recipe for safe keeping. My grandma just passed away and this is my favorite recipe of hers. She always made it at Christmas time. I think it is better if it sits for a day or so to let the flavors blend.

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.
