Categories: Fruits, Cakes

Yield: 8 Servings

1 1/2 c Applesauce

2 c Whole wheat pastry flour

1 ts Cinnamon

1/2 ts Nutmeg

1/4 ts Cloves

1 c Raisins

1 c Walnuts; coarsely chopped

1/2 c Butter

2/3 c Honey

2 ts Baking soda

Warm applesauce over low heat. Mix together the flour, spices, raisins,

and walnuts in a mixing bowl. Melt the butter in a small pot and mix in the

honey. Stir into the dry ingredients. Stir the baking soda into the hot

applesauce. This will foam up in a spectacular fashion. Add the batter in

the bowl and mix thoroughly. Pour the batter into a well buttered 9 inch

350 degree oven for about 40 minutes

or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. May serve with

vanilla ice cream or cool and frost with cream cheese frosting. --
