APPLESAUCE CAKE
Mary Ann: "I have a book called "Cooking Behind the Fence: Recipes and Recollections from the Oak Ridge '43 Club" (c1992). It features recipes from the '40s when Oak Ridge, TN was fenced and people had to have a security clearance to get in. The person who supplied this recipe remembers that there was only one grocery store in the area back in 1943 and she remembers waiting in line for 2 hours to buy soap powder."
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1 egg
2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 cup applesauce
2/3 cup chopped raisins
2/3 cup chopped walnut meats
Cream together shortening and sugar. Add egg; beat well.
Sift together flour, baking soda, salt, cloves, and cinnamon. Add alternately with applesauce to creamed mixture. Add raisins and nutmeats. Pour into 9-inch greased tube pan.
Bake in moderate oven (350 degrees F) for 1 hour. Let stand until cold. Remove cake from pan.
