How to Make Applesauce Raisin Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
  3. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Stir in 1 cup unsweetened applesauce and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, and ½ teaspoon salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in 1 cup raisins.
  7. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 65-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
