Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 c all purpose flour
6 Tbsp cocoa powder
2 c sugar
2 Tbsp cornstarch
4 tsp soda
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp cloves
1 tsp nutmeg
1 c candied fruit
2 c raisins (may use half dark and half golden)
2 c chopped nuts
3 c applesauce
1 c mazola corn oil
2 tsp vanilla
topping
2 c powdered sugar
2 Tbsp butter, room temperature
2 Tbsp bourbon, brandy, spiced or plain rum

Steps:

  • 1. Mix in order. I mix by hand as it is hard to mix. But do it in order so that fruit and raisins will be coated with dry ingreidents.
  • 2. Pour into pans but grease and flour them. You can use a bundt pan also. When giving as gifts, I use small loaf pans. (Mini) and give 1 per person.
  • 3. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Bake 1 hour and 10 mins. Toothpick test should be slightly damp. Otherwise cake is dry.
  • 4. Remove from pans. Cool. May brush with same as you used above, (bourbon, brandy, spiced rum, or plain rum.) lightly on all sides with a small paint brush or pastry brush. Store wrapped in plastic wrap and then heavy foil.
  • 5. When serving, stir topping ingredients together and drissel on top. If giving as gifts, Mix topping and put enough in a snack zip lock baggie. Scotch tape to ribbon on top and put on card to snip 1 corner of baggie and drissel over cake. May also add the receipe.
