Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups water test
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup dark raisins
- 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 large eggs
- 13 by 9-inch baking pan
Directions
Bring the water to a boil in a medium-size saucepan over moderately high heat. Stir in the oats. When the liquid returns to a boil, stir in the raisins and salt. Reduce the heat and simmer 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat, stir in the sugar, applesauce, and oil. Cool to lukewarm. Meanwhile, heat the oven to 350 degrees, and grease the pan. Put the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg into a large bowl. Stir to mix well. Stir the eggs into the oat mixture. Add the flour mixture, and stir just until moistened. Spread in the prepared pan and bake 30 to 40 minutes, or until the cake starts to shrink from the sides of the pan and a wooden pick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Place the pan on a wire rack to cool. The cake is good served warm. Or cool completely, cover tightly, and store overnight at room temperature before serving or freezing.

The taste was good and I like the lower fat, but I followed the recipe exactly and it came out very dense. It wasn't light like a cake. More like bars.

Great lower calorie dessert! I didn't have any raisins so I didn't add them. I put chunky applesauce which was GREAT to have apple chunks in the cake, and I added some chopped pecans in at the end - Good recipe, I will make it again.

I make this all the time for my friends and family, and they love it! I have made it so many times i have added some things. Sometimes I add 1 cup of walnuts, or substitute craisins instead of raisins. I just recently put blueberries in it, and that was good. It is a very lite, heathy desert!
