This recipe is big and fills approximately two 8x11 inch cake pans.
1 ¼ C. shortening
1 ¼ C. brown sugar
1 ¼ C. granulated sugar
3 eggs
3 C. applesauce
2 C. raisins
5 C. flour
4 t. baking powder
2 ½ t. baking soda
2 ½ t. salt
2 ½ t. ground cinnamon
1 ½ t. ground nutmeg
1 ½ t. ground cloves
Combine wet ingredients, add dry ingredients & mix together. Fold raisins into batter. Bake at 350° 45-50 min. (The baking time is for the entire recipe, either 1 big cake or 2 smaller ones. You may need to adjust the baking time if you half the recipe.) Top with cream cheese frosting.
Cream Cheese Frosting:
2 3oz. packages cream cheese
½ C. softened margarine or butter
2 t. vanilla
4 ½ C - 4 ¾ C. powdered sugar
One of my favorites to make in the fall! I cut the recipe in half, because it makes a cake big enough to feed four men with big appetites!
