Grandma was about the best baker I've ever known. This is the cake she brought to every picnic or family reunion. It can't be beat. Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 cup white sugar |
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves |
2 eggs |
1 cup vegetable oil |
2 cups applesauce |
1/2 cup chopped walnuts |
1/2 cup raisins |
1/2 cup brown sugar |
1 cup chopped walnuts |
1 cup chocolate chips |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
2. Whisk flour, white sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cloves together in a bowl. Beat eggs and vegetable oil in a separate large bowl until creamy; mix applesauce into egg mixture. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients; stir until batter is smooth. Fold 1/2 cup walnuts and raisins into batter. Pour into prepared baking pan.
3. Mix brown sugar, 1 cup walnuts, and chocolate chips together in a bowl; spread over the cake.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes.
