How to Make Old Fashioned Homemade Applesauce Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan (approximately 10-inch).
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) shortening and 2 cups granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Add 2 cups homemade applesauce and 1 cup raisins. Beat until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking for doneness around the 60-minute mark.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once completely cool, frost with your favorite icing (butterscotch, vanilla buttercream, or cream cheese frosting are all excellent choices!)
