How to make applesauce cake:

Sift a little of the flour over raisins and currants, nutmeats or dates. Re-sift the remainder with salt, baking soda, cinnamon and cloves. Cream butter or shortening until soft. Add white or packed brown sugar gradually and cream until light. Beat in egg.

Stir the flour mixture gradually into the butter mixture until the batter is smooth. Add the raisins, nutmeats and thick, lightly sweetened applesauce. Stir it into the batter.

Bake in a greased, 9-inch tube pan, 50 to 60 minutes. Spread, when cool, with caramel icing.
