This apple sauce raisin spice cake has the perfect texture and amount of spices!
The juicy raisins add a nice burst of flavour with each bite. You can easily replace the raisins with a diced juicy apple for the same delicious texture.

The ingredients needed:

• brown sugar
• butter
• cinnamon
• cloves
• nutmeg
• salt
• raisins *soaked in hot water for 15 – 30 to plump up the raisins
• apple sauce *sweetened or unsweetened
• eggs
• flour
• baking powder
• baking soda

I make this for my family during the holidays because it taste like what I wish fruit cake tasted like, Christmasy and actually good. Fruit cake taste like Christmas in a bad way in my opinion. If you know a fruit cake recipe that is actually good PLEASE leave link it below, I would love to try one!

IMPORTANT TIP: You have to let the mixture cool before you add the eggs because the egg will cook. You can skip the raisins or substitute with diced apple or chocolate chips.
