How to cook deliciously - Applesauce Cake

1. Stage

Place the raisins and hot water in a small bowl; set the bowl aside.

2. Stage

In a large bowl, cream together the shortening and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 5 to 7 minutes. Beat in the egg. In another bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt and spices; add this to the creamed mixture a little at a time, alternating with the applesauce and water. Drain the raisins and fold them into the batter along with the walnuts.

3. Stage

Transfer the batter to a greased 13x9-inch baking pan. Bake the cake at 325°F for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Place the pan on a wire rack to let it cool. Dust the top of the cake with confectioners' sugar, if desired. Serve the applesauce cake warm or cold.
