MOM'S APPLESAUCE CAKE
My Mom got this recipe from a little German lady at Lake Quinault, WA, right after WWII. It was a constant in our house, when I was growing up, as it was my Dad's favorite! Mom served it unfrosted, as it was so nice and moist! Do not overbake, to prevent it becoming too dry.

Steps:
- Cream together butter and sugar.
- Add eggs and mix well,
- Sift together flour, cinnamon, cloves and baking soda, and add in to butter/sugar mixture. (It will be thick, like cookie dough.)
- Mix in raisins and nuts, and hot applesauce (I heat in small saucepan on stove, but microwave should work, also). Hot applesauce will thin down the dough into a batter.
- Pour into a 9" x13" baking pan (sprayed with Baker's Joy, or greased and floured)
- Bake at 350* for 45 to 50 minutes, until toothpick comes out clean. Start checking at 40 minutes. Cake is best if slightly underdone.
- Serve plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or frost with cream cheese icing. I grew up eating it plain.
