Instructions
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a fluted cake pan by spraying it with cooking spray.
- In a bowl, use an electric mixer to beat sugar and butter until smooth and creamy, then beat in the eggs until fully mixed.
- In a saucepan, combine applesauce and baking soda over medium heat, stirring for about 2 minutes. Stir this warm applesauce mixture into the butter mixture, then add the vanilla extract.
- Whisk together the flour, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, and ground cloves in a separate bowl. Gradually stir the wet applesauce mixture into the dry flour mixture until just combined, then fold in the raisins and walnuts; pour the batter into your prepared pan.
- Bake the cake in your preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a plate.
Notes
For an extra touch, serve this cake warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
