MY MOM'S OTHER SOFT APPLE CAKE (IN A TUBE PAN)
My mom is just amazing. After 70+ years of cooking for others, she keeps on coming up with new ideas for yet another delicious dish. Today she gave me this recipe for another soft apple cake (to distinguish them from her passover apple cake and her "hard" apple cake, my personal favorite). It whips up fast, makes a nice presentation, and freezes well if you dont gobble it down first. I think she got it from "America Cooks for Israel", a cookbook that happens to feature some of her recipes too, courtesy of her only daughter. ;-) Try it, and join in singing my mom's praise.

MOM'S APPLESAUCE CAKE
My Mom got this recipe from a little German lady at Lake Quinault, WA, right after WWII. It was a constant in our house, when I was growing up, as it was my Dad's favorite! Mom served it unfrosted, as it was so nice and moist! Do not overbake, to prevent it becoming too dry.

Steps:
- Cream together butter and sugar.
- Add eggs and mix well,
- Sift together flour, cinnamon, cloves and baking soda, and add in to butter/sugar mixture. (It will be thick, like cookie dough.)
- Mix in raisins and nuts, and hot applesauce (I heat in small saucepan on stove, but microwave should work, also). Hot applesauce will thin down the dough into a batter.
- Pour into a 9" x13" baking pan (sprayed with Baker's Joy, or greased and floured)
- Bake at 350* for 45 to 50 minutes, until toothpick comes out clean. Start checking at 40 minutes. Cake is best if slightly underdone.
- Serve plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or frost with cream cheese icing. I grew up eating it plain.
Tips:
- For a moist and flavorful cake, make sure to use ripe, juicy apples. Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples are good choices.
- To easily peel and core the apples, use a vegetable peeler and an apple corer.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the apples by hand using a box grater.
- Be sure to grease and flour the cake pan before adding the batter, to prevent sticking.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it.
- For a smooth and creamy frosting, beat the butter and cream cheese together until light and fluffy, then gradually add the powdered sugar.
- If you don't have cream cheese, you can substitute sour cream.
- Decorate the cake with apple slices, chopped walnuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar.
Conclusion:
This classic apple sauce cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and flavorful cake and creamy frosting, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a simple and delicious cake recipe, give this one a try.
