    This is delicious!
    Some changes I made:
    -I didn't put any raisins or walnuts
    -I added a diced apple
    -I put 2 teaspoons of cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg
    -I greased and sugared the pan instead of flouring it.
    -I used a nine-inch round cake pan. I think a loaf pan would be way too small.

    Enjoy!

    Loved this cake!!! I cut the recipe in half and baked in a glass 8x8-inch pan at 325 degrees for 35 minutes. Used nuts but no raisins and my unsweetened cinnamon applesauce was bought in the store. A nice "snack" cake: ate plain but had ice cream on side for others.

    OMG WERE THESE GOOD! I have never written a review before but this one deserves 5 stars. Sooo tasty and easy to make. I added 1/4 C more flour and 1/4 C more white sugar and made them in my electric cupcake maker with no paper liners. Just like old-fashioned goodness from Grandma's kitchen--spicy and not too sweet (dontcha just hate people who alter Grandma's recipes LOL!!

    every time i have my family over i make 4 pounds of apple sauce and send some home with a different relative. this last time i did not give any away and started researching applesauce cake recipes. i make apple sauce with a combination of hard and soft, sweet and tart apples so it always turns out chunky and tart. this applesauce worked very well in this reicpe. i loved the chunks of apples in the cake. i am really enjoying this moist warm cake but have decided two things. i will make this as cupcakes next time. Because i needed to keep this loaf in the oven for over an hour to cook it through, The outside of the cake was darker and dryer than i would have liked . i removed it from the pan 5 minutes after i pulled it out of the oven so it would not keep cooking. Second thing, the cake could use at least another 1/2 tsp of cin and some extra nutmeg and vanilla . This cake is delicious! Eat it warm. Use King Arthur flour and the cake batter will not be runny.

    I was looking for a recipe for applesauce cake and came across this one. Wow it came out moist and delicious. I remember eating this when I was little. Brought back memories! You do have to cook this recipe longer then it says on recipe. As with every recipe you have to adjust to your oven, your pans, and your tastes etc. Loved this recipe and I will make it again. My husband will love this when he gets home from work.

    This cake requires at least another 1/2 cup of flour and it needs to bake over an hour.

    I substituted cake flour for about half of the all purpose flour, and used a homemade applesauce (made from the apples left over after making a homemade "apple pie" schnapps and HOT DANG - best applesauce cake ever! I frosted it with a maple cream cheese frosting and these were to die for! :

    I tested a few applesauce cakes for my daughter's first birthday, even did a taste test with relatives. This one won out! I use homemade chunky applesauce which gives nice, soft bites of apple here and there. I also always use cloves in apple recipes, about 1/8 tsp. The cake was gone by the end of the party! One and a half recipes made one Elmo cake and eight cupcakes.

    Very good! To those who have struggled with overflowing loaf pans -- use two. I think the recipe is actually intended for a bundt/tube pan or two loaf pans. It makes two nicely-filled loaf pans. I decreased the sugar by about 1/2 c. as I had sugared my applesauce.
