APPLE SAUCE CAKE

2 cupfuls flour
1/8 teaspoonful cloves
1 1/2 teaspoonfuls cinnamon
1 teaspoonful nutmeg
1 teaspoonful baking soda
1/4 teaspoonful salt
1 cupful sugar
1 cupful apple sauce (unsweetened)
1/3 cupful fat
1 cupful raisins, cut in halves


Mix the sugar and apple sauce; add the fat. Mix the
dry ingredients. Through a sifter, add them to the
apple sauce mixture. Flour the raisins and stir them
into the batter. Turn into a greased loaf-cake pan
or into two layer-cake pans. Bake in a moderate
oven (375 degrees F.). If the cake is baked in layers,
put Raisin Filling between them, but omit the raisins
in the cake batter.

DRIED APPLE FRUIT CAKE

3 Cupfuls of dried apples
3 cups of molasses
3 cupfuls of flour
3 eggs
1 cupful of butter
1 teaspoonful soda
1 cupful of seedless raisins - optional
Add spices if necessary


Soak dried apples over night in cold water enough to
swell them; chop them in the morning and put them on
the fire with three cups of molasses; stew until almost
soft; add a cupful of nice seedless raisins (if possible)
and stew a few moments; when cold, add three cupfuls of
flour, one cupful of butter, three eggs and a teaspoonful
of soda; bake in a steady oven. This will make two
good-sized panfuls of splendid cake; the apples will
cook like citron and taste deliciously. Raisins may be
omitted; also spices to taste may be added.
