APPLE SAUCE CAKE



APPLE SAUCE CAKE

From Billie Reid  (from Mrs. Howells, McKees Rocks, PA)

1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup dates
1 cup walnuts 
1  1/2 cup apple sauce
2 cups flour, sifted before measuring
1 t. cinnamon
1 t. cloves
2 t. baking soda

Cream butter and sugar; add beaten egg.  Add apple sauce, raisins, dates and nuts.  

Sift dry ingredients and add to the creamed mixture.

Pour batter into a wax-paper-lined 8" square pan.

Bake about 1 hour in a moderate oven, about 350.

Tip:  You may add candied cherries and pineapple.  Also, you can omit the dates and use 1 cup raisins if you like.
