Looking for simple baking recipes? This delicious old-fashioned Applesauce Cake is made with simple ingredients you already have in your pantry. Plus, the recipe is beyond easy to make, needs only one bowl, and takes less than one hour from start to finish. Perfectly spiced and studded with raisins and walnuts, this cake is best served warm and dusted with powdered sugar.
The recipe uses no eggs. Start out by creaming butter (or margarine to keep the recipe vegan-friendly) and sugar with a hand mixer. Next, beat in the applesauce. Stir in the dry ingredients, followed by raisins and chopped walnuts. Pour the batter into a greased and floured baking pan and smooth out the top. Finally, bake the cake until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
To make the Applesauce Cake, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 350 °F . Grease an 8-inch square pan and lightly dust with flour.

Beat in 1 cup applesauce until well combined.
Stir in 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon ground cloves.
Add in ½ cup raisins and ½ cup chopped walnuts.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top.
