Applesauce Cake

1/2 cup butter or shortening
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon maple flavoring
1 cup seedless raisins or currants
1 cup broken nutmeats (optional)
2 cups sifted flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cloves
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups thick, unsweetened applesauce

Oven: 350 degrees

Cream butter in a mixing bowl. Blend in sugar and beat in the egg. Add the maple flavoring, nuts, and raisins. Mix and sift the flour, soda, salt and spices. Add alternately with the applesauce to the sugar mixture, beating smooth after each addition.

Pour batter into a greased and paper-lined 9x4x3 loaf pan. Bake about one hour or until a cake tester comes away clean. Invert on a cake rack. Remove pan but not the paper. Turn right side up to cool. If kept in a covered container, the cake will stay fresh about a week. Makes one loaf.
