1 1/2 c. sugar
1 c. butter
1 1/2 c. applesauce
2 scant tsp. baking soda (stirred into applesauce)
2 c. flour
1 tsp. each cinnamon and powdered cloves
1 c. each raisins and chopped walnuts

Cream butter and sugar. Add applesauce with baking soda. Add flour sifted with spices. Add raisins and nuts.

Bake in buttered, floured pans in 350 degree oven about one hour. Makes 2 1/2 medium size loaf cakes. I always make 2 batches at a time (5 loaves) because they disappear so quickly! (Can be baked in square pan for 50 minutes approximately.)
