Grind oats by running Quaker (or similar) either quick or regular oatmeal in a blender or food processor (I use Quick Oatmeal!) Combine ground oats, sugar, salt, soda, and spices in mixing bowl. Add shortening, eggs and vanilla. Beat until smooth, about 2 mins. Stir in applesauce and raisins (optional). Pour batter into greased 20 cm square baking pan. Bake in preheated moderate oven 350 degrees, 35-40 mins. Cool; cover pan and store one day before serving. Makes one 20 cm cake. Taken from "The Quaker Oats Company Wheat, Milk and Egg Free Receipes". These date back to the 1950's.
