My Mom has been making this for 20 years. This is a very dense, moist cake, maybe closer to a pound cake, but that's what I like about it. We added the raisins to the recipe, so you could omit them. I also like to add Walnuts, some day I may also add some coconut. This is great warm or cold.
Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups white flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup molasses
1 egg
1 cup applesauce
3/4 cup raisins, soaked in hot water to plump (drain)
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
3/4 powdered sugar
Directions:
1. Sift dry ingredients, cut in butter. Stir in molasses, egg, applesauce, raisins.
2. Pour into greased and floured 8 square pan. Bake 350 for 40-45 minute.
3. Drizzle with glaze when cool.
