MY MOM’S APPLESAUCE CAKE

Contributed by Marilyn Ashton

This is an old recipe and very good.

• 1/2 cup shortening
• 1 cup sugar

Cream the shortening and sugar, add:

• 1 egg
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla

Sift the following dry ingredients together:

• 2 cups cake flour (or 1-3/4 cup regular flour plus a Tbs. cornstarch)
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/2tsp. cloves
• 1/2tsp allspice

Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients alternatively with:

• 1 cup applesauce 

Don’t over stir!

Can add raisins and walnuts if you like them, I like both.

Bake in loaf pan, greased and floured, for 1 hour at 350°.
