How to Make Applesauce Loaf Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup unsweetened applesauce, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in ½ cup raisins and ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
