Johnny Appleseed Cake
Ingredients
1 1/2 C. applesauce
2 C. whole wheat pastry flour
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. cloves
1 C. raisins
1 C. walnuts; coarsely chopped
1/2 C. butter
2/3 C. honey
2 tsp. baking soda
Cooking Instructions
Warm applesauce over low heat. Mix together the flour, spices, raisins, and walnuts in a mixing bowl. Melt the butter in a small pot and mix in the honey. Stir into the dry ingredients. Stir the baking soda into the hot applesauce. This will foam up in a spectacular fashion. Add the batter in the bowl and mix thoroughly. Pour the batter into a well buttered 9 inch square cake pan. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 40 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. May serve with vanilla ice cream or cool and frost with cream cheese frosting.
