Applesauce and Honey Cake With Raisin Glaze image

This cake has all natural ingredients. As for being diabetic-safe, it has honey. If you're a type-two, you could probably get away with a small piece of this. It is delicious and a great way to use that applesauce that's been sitting in the fridge.

Time 1h5m

Yield 1 8x8 snack cake

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup honey
1 cup applesauce
2 cups self-rising flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
1 cup chopped raisins
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup honey
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8x8 pan.
  • Cream the butter in a large bowl; while still beating, stream in the honey. Mix in the applesauce.
  • Combine the dry ingredients and mix into the applesauce mixture and beat 30 seconds.
  • Fold in the nuts and raisins.
  • Bake 40 minutes or until the cake springs back in the center and a toothpick comes out clean. While the cake is baking, prepare the raisin glaze.
  • In a saucepan, combine the water and chopped raisins. Bring to a boil; add honey, reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes. Remove from heat and add lemon juice. While cake is still warm, pierce cake with a fork (the end of a wooden spoon is too large). Spoon the glaze over the cake.
