Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F or 325 if using a black Bundt pan.
- After you’ve sifted the all purpose flour and measured out 2 ¼ cups, mix it with baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.
- Grease the pan with shortening and dust with flour or spray with flour-added cooking spray.
- Beat the butter until creamy. Add the brown sugar and continue mixing. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, and vanilla, then mix until well blended and fluffy.
- Add applesauce to the creamed mixture and stir well, then gently stir in the flour mixture, scraping batter up with a rubber scraper to ensure it’s incorporated. Fold in the raisins and walnuts. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake 45 minutes or until cake tests done.
- Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn on to a wire rack to finish cooling.
