Applesauce Loaf Cake

To give applesauce a different flavor, add sliced unpeeled orange in the last few minutes of cooking. Commercially prepared sweetened applesauce can contain as much as 77 percent more calories than unsweetened varieties.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 1/2 cups applesauce
1 egg
1 cup sugar
2 Tablespoons oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup raisins

Directions:

  1. Wash hands well with soap and warm water.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease 2 (8 x 4 x 2 inch) loaf pans.
  3. Toast walnuts in an ungreased skillet pan. Stir while heating on medium-low heat for 5 to 7 minutes. They are done when they are brown and smell nutty. Set aside to cool.
  4. Mix applesauce, egg, sugar, oil and vanilla in a large bowl.
  5. Mix flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a smaller bowl.
  6. Pour flour mixture into applesauce mixture.
  7. Stir in raisins and cooled toasted nuts.
  8. Pour half of the batter into each greased pan. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes.
  9. Remove cakes from the oven. Cool for 10 minutes. Remove from pans to finish cooling. For best taste, let cakes cool a few hours before serving.
