This cake is one of my grandfather's favorites. And it seems like he always knows when you're making ithe must have a keen sense of smell! The recipe was passed down through the generations beginning with my great-grandmother. Sometimes I can imagine her making it all those years ago. Ingredients:
1 cup sugar |
1/2 cup shortening |
2 tablespoons molasses |
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1 teaspoon ground cloves |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1-1/2 cups applesauce |
1 cup raisins |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, cream the sugar and shortening. Beat in molasses until blended; set aside. Sift together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with applesauce, beating well after each addition. Stir in raisins.
2. Pour into a greased and floured tube pan. Bake at 350° for 45 minutes or until cake test done. Cake will not rise to top of pan. After 10 minutes, remove cake from pan and cool on a wire rack. Yield: 8-10 servings.
