How to Make Applesauce Spice Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round baking pans.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the applesauce, vanilla, and spices.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the chopped walnuts and raisins.
- Divide batter evenly between the prepared pans.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the cakes are golden brown.
- Let cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once completely cool, frost the cake layers. Spread frosting between the layers and on top and sides of the cake.
- Sprinkle with chopped walnuts, if desired.
