I didn’t expect much from this cake, but had a lot of applesauce to use up so I made it. It was AWESOME! My family loved it. I made exactly as listed… except I used 1/2 cup raisin and 1/2 cup dates simply because I didn’t have enough raisins on had (both were great in it) and I topped with a dusting of powdered sugar. Great fall recipe! Thanks for sharing.

I thought the same things when I got the recipe from my great aunt. But it does not use eggs. It’s a very old recipe. My aunt said my great-grandma would use part butter and part lard. My aunt modified it to use the vegetable/canola oil, but didn’t change anything else.
Thanks for asking!

Hi,
I saw this recipe on other sites and those include an egg. Can you let us know?

Hmm….I noticed that the cake doesn’t call for any eggs. Is that correct? I really want to try this, but want to make sure the ingredients are all there before I do. Thank you.

made this recipe tonight and loved it! i did make a few adjustments, though: i replaced the oil with two mashed bananas, cut the sugar to 1 cup, and i used whole wheat flour instead of the traditional white. even with the changes, it was a fantastic recipe – i couldn’t stop eating it!
