APPLE SAUCE CAKE

This apple sauce cake will be found as delicious and tasty as the rich
fruit cake, which is so difficult to prepare, and it is very much less
expensive.

In a big mixing bowl, beat to a creamy consistency four tablespoons of
butter, one egg and one cup of sugar. Add a saltspoon of salt, one
teaspoon of allspice, one teaspoon of vanilla and a little grated
nutmeg. Beat and stir all these ingredients well together with the other
mixture, then add one cup of chopped raisins, after dusting them with
flour. Mix these well through the dough and then add one cup of
unsweetened apple sauce which has been pressed through a fine wire
sieve. After this is well mixed with the other ingredients, stir in one
teaspoon of baking-soda dissolved in one tablespoon of boiling water.
Last of all, stir in one cup of flour, sifting twice after measuring it.
Bake forty-five minutes in moderate oven.

the apple sauce should be cooked quite thick, and then if the dough is
still too thin add more flour. Bake one hour in moderate oven. This cake
can be made with chicken schmalz in place of butter. Ice with plain
white frosting.
