How to Make Applesauce And Honey Cake With Raisin Glaze

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and ¾ cup honey until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 cup applesauce until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ½ cup chopped walnuts.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in ½ cup raisins and ½ cup chopped walnuts.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. While the cake is baking, prepare the raisin glaze:
  9. In a small saucepan, combine ½ cup water and ½ cup raisins. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  10. Reduce heat to low, stir in ¼ cup honey, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the raisins are plump and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  11. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
  12. Once the cake is out of the oven and still warm, pierce it all over with a fork.
  13. Pour the warm raisin glaze evenly over the top of the cake. Let cool completely before slicing and serving.
