DIRECTIONS
- Set oven to 350 degrees.
- set oven rack to second-lowest position.
- Generously grease a 10-inch tube pan or angel food cake pan (I use my Pan Release recipe#78579 for greasing).
- In a large bowl using an electric mixer cream butter and sugar until well blended.
- Add in eggs and vanilla; beat until well blended (there should be no sugar granules remaining in the creamed mixture).
- Add in applesauce and sour cream; beat until blended.
- In a small bowl mix the flour with salt, cinnamon, baking powder and baking soda; add to the creamed mixture and mix until blended (about 1 minute).
- Fold in chopped raisins and nuts (or mini chocolate chips if using).
- Spoon the batter into prepared baking pan.
- Place the pan on a baking sheet lined with wax paper.
- Bake for about 65-80 minutes, or until cake tests don.
- Cool completely then dust with confectioners sugar or glaze.
