Johnny Appleseed Cake

Ingredients

1 1/2 c applesauce
2 c wheat pastry flour
1 ts cinnamon
1/2 ts nutmeg
1 c raisins
1 c walnuts
1/2 c butter
5/8 c honey
2 ts baking soda

Instructions

Warm applesauce over low heat. Mix together the flour, spices, raisins, and walnuts in a mixing bowl. Melt the butter in a small pot and mix in the honey. Stir into the dry ingredients. Stir the baking soda into the hot applesauce. This will foam up in a spectacular fashion. Add the batter in the bowl and mix thoroughly. Pour the batter into a well buttered 9 inch square cake pan. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 40 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. May serve with vanilla ice cream or cool and frost with cream cheese frosting. ----
