1/2 cup butter, softened
1/3 cup white sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
3 egg whites, lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups applesauce
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups unbleached white flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 cup sliced dates (optional)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Confectioner's sugar

Preheat oven to 350. In a large bowl, beat together the butter and
sugars until smooth.

then mix well. Add the flour and baking soda. Stir until blended, then
add the dates, walnuts, and/or raisins, if desired.
Pour the batter into a well-buttered Bundt pan. Bake at 350 degrees
for 45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out
clean. Let the cake cool slightly, then turn it out upside down onto a
serving plate. Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar if desired.

Helpful Hints:
You can use a tube pan instead, but you won't want to turn it upside
down on the plate.

Mother-in-Law Cake (Applesauce Cake)

Use only unsweetened Dutch cocoa, pure maple syrup, and fresh eggs.

2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1/8 cup cocoa
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. cloves
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. allspice
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cup applesauce
3/4 cups raisins
3/4 cups walnuts
3/4 cups dates (pitted and chopped)

Preheat oven to 350.
Spray a 9-inch bundt pan or two 3-inch by 8-inch loaf pans with
vegetable oil spray.
Mix all the dry ingredients. In the large bowl of an electric mixer,
cream the shortening with the cocoa and spices; gradually add sugar
until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing just to incorporate
them after each addition. At low speed, add the flour mixture,
alternating with applesauce. Fold in the raisins, walnuts, and dates.
Bake in a greased bundt pan or two loaf pans for 55-60 minutes. Frost
with Maple Butter frosting .

Maple Butter Frosting

This frosting is the perfect finish for Mother-in-law cake. It's also
a tasty and slightly different frosting for other fruit-flavored or
white cakes. Please use real maple syrup; artificial maple syrup
(pancake syrup) is a waste of time and calories!

1/3 cup butter or solid vegetable shortening
1 pound sifted confectioners' sugar
3/8 cup real maple syrup (pure, don't substitute)
1 tsp. vanilla (pure, don't substitute)

Blend butter or shortening and sugar in mixer or food processor. Add
vanilla and maple syrup, and beat until very smooth. Spread on
Mother-in-law cake ! It also frosts 2 layers or one 13x9 oblong cake.
