Introduction

Really yummy! Doesn't really need icing- I usually dribble a blend of milk and icing sugar over the top, or else leave it plain. I have never used cream cheese icing with it. Again a good one to bake for cake stalls as you get 2 cakes out of the mixture, or for family baking bake it as a slab.

Ingredients

Serves: 6-8

1 cup butter
2 cups superfine sugar
2 eggs
2 cups natural apple sauce (no added sugar)
4 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup chopped nutmeats
1 cup raisins (sometimes I add sultanas)
