Applesauce Cake

So this is absolutely my favorite bread in the whole world. It is the singular food I look forward to during the holidays. It is my great grandmother's recipe that has lasted because it is just that good! Hope you enjoy!

Gram’s Applesauce Cake

½ cup butter or margarine

1 cup sugar

1 cup unsweetened applesauce

1 tsp. baking soda

½ cup raisins

2 cups flour

1 tsp. cinnamon

½ tsp. ground cloves

Maraschino cherries

¼-1/2 cup chopped nuts

Cream butter, adding sugar gradually and blend in applesauce to which baking soda has been added. Stir in raisins. Add dry ingredients and blend until smooth. Stir in ½ bottle maraschino cherries (drained) and turn into a prepared pan (Crisco and flour coating). Bake in 350°F oven for about 45 mins.

Just to let you know, Hopefully within the next couple weeks I will have a fabulous looking recipe for lemon cupcakes coming up (with pictures)! Now that my first year of college is behind me, I will have more time to cook and bake! Can't wait!

Fall in Love With Fall

Ahhhhh!!  It finally feels like fall up here in the Northeast.  It may have been a cool, rainy, and somewhat uncomfortable day for some, but I am just enjoying the fact that my favorite season is once again here.  I am also pretty excited that I am headed home tomorrow night and looking forward to trying something along the lines of a pumpkin baked good :)

Another thing fall gets me excited for is, of course, the holidays!!  I know that you all probably do not want to hear anything about snow, cold weather, Christmas, or anything of the sort but, as it turns out, there are only 87 days left until Christmas.  Around early September I started listening to Holiday music so I am well prepared to start off the holiday season.  Not to mention all the baking and all the posts I can do!

Sorry for the short post, but I am headed to bed!  Have a fabulous Friday all!
