Applesauce Spice Cake

Description: I got this recipe years ago from a cookbook. I love this applesauce spice cake with cream cheese frosting or a homemade buttercream. My family thinks this is a very good moist cake. I have used regular milk in the place of buttermilk.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups flour
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 cup buttermilk
• 1/4 cup margarine
• 1/4 cup shortening
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup applesauce

Steps:

1. In a bowl mix the first 8 ingredients.
2. Add the buttermilk, margarine, shortening,and vanilla.
3. Beat with an electric mixer on low for 2 minutes and then on high speed.
4. Add the eggs and beat again.
5. Pour in a 13x9x2 greased cake pan.
6. Baked on 350 for 30-35 minutes.
7. Cool and frost.
