CHRISTMAS APPLESAUCE CAKE
I have changed a basic applesauce cake recipe that belonged to a lady from my hometown who, if living, would now be around 98 years old. Notice what she did with the applesauce and baking soda...that fascinated me and caused me to first make this cake. Now it is THE only applesauce cake I make. I use Robertson's basic mincemeat if I can find it. I sometimes add a dash of cardomon too. We like it best when using black walnuts. Makes a beautiful and more-ish cake!
