Step-by-step
- Cream butter or margarine with sugar.
- Add applesauce; beat well.
- Stir in flour, soda, and spices.
- Add nuts and raisins.
- Pour the batter into a greased and floured 8 inch square pan.
- Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 40 minutes, or until done.
- Serve warm.
Should the applesauce be sweetened or unsweetened? This formulation relies on chilled applesauce to react correctly with the baking soda and butter during creaming, providing moisture that keeps the crumb dense without becoming heavy. Because the batter incorporates spices like cinnamon and cloves alongside raisins and walnuts, the resulting cake balances fruit acidity with earthy warmth.
- Pair this spiced dessert with unsweetened whipped cream or a sharp cheddar cheese slice to cut through the heavy sugar content.
- Substitute oil for the butter at a 1:1 ratio if dairy-free baking is required, though the crust will lose some of its rich browning capability.
- Bake the batter in an 8-inch square pan at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 40 minutes, testing for doneness when a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days to maintain the crumb texture. Freezing unfrosted slices works well if wrapped tightly in plastic wrap.
