Recipes from Aunt Flora -- Janean's Applesauce Cake

Applesauce Cake

2 ¾ cup sifted flour
¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon cloves, ground
¾ cup sugar, white
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon

½ cup soft shortening
2 cups applesauce
2 eggs, beaten in
1 ½ cup raisins

Sift flour with sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and cloves.
Add shortening and applesauce. Beat 2 minutes, until blended.
Add eggs and beat again.
Stir in the raisins.
Bake in greased 13x9 pan at 350 degrees for about 35 minutes (or until done).

I topped with crystallize sugar for a crunchy top, rather than the topping called for. I also mixed in additional dried fruit to the mix.
