How to Make Applesauce Oatmeal Cake

  1. In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of applesauce to a boil over medium heat.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of rolled oats and ½ cup of raisins.
  3. Cover and let stand for 20 minutes to allow the oats to soften.
  4. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  5. Gradually add 1 ½ cups of granulated sugar, beating well after each addition.
  6. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  8. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  9. Gently stir in the applesauce and oat mixture.
  10. Pour the batter into a greased and floured 9x9 inch baking pan.
  11. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
