Yet another REC: Applesauce Cake
 

It's been a busy week in Lake Wobegon, so here's another favorite that I
just turned out. I have several applesauce cakes but we call this

APPLESAUCE CAKE (THE MOIST ONE)

1 3/8 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
2 eggs
1/3 cup peanut oil
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
7-8 ounces jarred applesauce
1/2 pound carrots, shredded
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Mix flour, baking, soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg in a large bowl. In
smaller bowl, beat the eggs and stir in the oil, sugar and vanilla. Add the
applesauce and carrots and mix well. Add the applesauce mixture to the flour
mixture, stirring just enough to moisten. Fold in the raisins and walnuts.
Pour into a greased loaf pan and bake about 30-35 minutes at 350.

Note: You see a lot of fractional measurements? That's because I halved the
recipe. I believe the original called for a 9x13 pan.

Another Note: Once again, I have no source on my written recipe. Sorry!

I treat my 1/8 C measure like gold - it came from a yard sale of
assorted Tupperware stuff, along with a 2/3 and 3/4 C measures, one
thin dime each. Why oh why is it so hard to find 1/8 C dry measures?
I have never seen one outside of that yardsale.

Because most people have a tablespoon and don't find it difficult to
fill it twice? -aem

Many grocery stores and drugstores have these. The trick is to watch
the labeling. They are called "coffee measures", not "measuring cups".
The last one I bought, was marked 1/8c on it, after I unwrapped it.

If 1 cup = 16 tablespoons, then 1/8 = 2 Tbsp.
Easier for me than keeping track of another measuring cup.

Sounds good.
Mother always used mostly applesauce and little four and more real
cinnamon. I hope one of us finds her recipe.
As for cinnamon we have not been able to find the real stuff for a long
time. Where do you find it? we have several containers that say they are
cinnamon but the flavor is definitely weak and not the cinnamon of
yesteryear.

Yes, I did know that 1/8th cup = 2 Tbsp. Couldn't quite tell
whether that needed to be clarified. Such things are sometimes
handy when you are measuring several gloppy things and dry things.
Of course, just having a plethora of measuring spoons and cups
would also take care of that issue.

"keep track"??? Don't you nestle them together and keep them in one
place only? A 1/8 cup should fit nicely into the 1/4 cup measure.

I thought a coffee measure was 1/8 C. (2 T.) - never compared them
because my stainless set has a 1/8 C.

OMG! You have more patience than I do. I chunk the carrots and then toss 'em
in the Cuisinart. Glad you enjoyed it, though, after all that work!

I use my coffee scoop!
of course, instead of 2 coffee scoops for a pot of coffee, you'd think
I'd just fill the 1/4 measure once. (It's a 4 cup Mr Coffee). But I
am used to using the coffee scoop. Years ago, Chock Full O Nuts
included a scoop in each cans. They stopped about 10-15 years ago. Now
I have a nice long handled scoop that I picked up at Zabars in NYC for
$1 several years ago. I just like it.

The FP bowl assembly for my KitchenAid Duo is on the list of things I plan
to replace when I have a regular job again. In the meantime, I do have
the box grater ;).
