Danish Applesauce Cake image

My grandmother Anina always made this cake for holidays - it was probably created to make use of what was on hand in hard times. I'm posting it here for safe-keeping.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the texture was good. I think I would use less sugar next time.
