This recipe makes a very tasty cake and is easy to make. It is beautifully moist and is made with applesauce so you don’t even need fresh apples to make this. I made it several times over the pandemic, especially when the state was on lock down. It is always a hit and is eaten completely the first day. If you have plenty of apples, you can make your applesauce from scratch. I used to do this but we only have one small apple tree and use my fresh apples to make country apple bread, apple hand pies and homemade apple pie filling.
- 2 c. all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ c. applesauce, unsweetened
- 1 c. sugar
- 1 c. raisins
- 1 c. walnuts
- ½ c. butter, room temperature
- 1 lg. egg
- 2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- ½ tsp. nutmeg
- ¼ tsp. cloves
- ¼ tsp. salt
First you need to grease a Bundt cake pan generously and then be sure to dust the pan with flour. Set aside.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Cream together your sugar and butter in a stand mixer until they are blended well and are smooth. Mix in the egg. Now mix in the raisins and walnuts and finally mix in the baking soda and spices. Then slowly add in the applesauce and flour. The batter will be thick and that is how you want it.
Spoon the batter into the pan and use a smooth to spread it out evenly. Bake for about 45 minutes or until the top of the cake springs back when you touch it and an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool slightly before turning it out on a cake plate.
Dust with powdered sugar and enjoy. Goes great with a cup of coffee or hot apple cider.
Makes 12 slices of cake with each slice having roughly 45 grams of carbs.
