Apple Sauce Cake

Tom's been asking for it for a while, and when he finally found this recipe in his mother's recipe box, I knew it was time to actually make it.

Apple Sauce Cake

1. Sift together and set aside:
   • 2 cups flour
   • 1 tsp soda
   • 1 tsp cinnamon
   • ½ tsp salt
   • ½ tsp cloves
   • ½ tsp nutmeg
2. Mix 2 minutes:
   • ½ cup shortening (like Crisco)
   • 1 cup sugar
   • 2 eggs
3. Then add and mix together:
   • 1½ cups apple sauce
   • ¾ cup raisins
   • ½ cup chopped walnuts
4. Add dry ingredients a little at a time and mix 1½ minutes
5. Grease and flour pan (2 loaf pans or Bundt cake pan)
6. Bake at 350° about 55 minutes

Tom thought the cake should have been browner (if his memory serves him correctly), and that it should be moister. But then again, he thought that it shouldn't have nuts in it either, until he saw the actual recipe.
