Old Fashioned Applesauce Cake image

I like it how it doesn't "cheat" by using a packaged cake mix. This recipe is from "Simply Delicious"- A cookbook comprised of Herberger's Employee Family Recipes.

I was a bit skeptical about using applesauce instead of oil in a cake, but I was pleasantly surprised. The cake was moist and flavorful, and it didn't have a strong applesauce flavor. I'll definitely be making this cake again.
