*Applesauce Molasses Cake

1/3 cup butter

1 cup sugar

1 cup unsweetened applesauce

3 tablespoons molasses

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 egg

2 cups Baking Mix

2 teaspoons cinnamon

1 teaspoon nutmeg

(I use 3 teaspoons Pumpkin Pie spice instead of the cinnamon and nutmeg)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Grease and flour an 8-inch square cake pan. I use a greased 9-inch cast iron pie pan.

In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar; beat in applesauce, molasses, vanilla and egg.

Add dry ingredients and beat well.

Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until a pick inserted in center comes out clean.

Serve warm with whipped cream.

Pumpkin Pie Spice

8 tablespoons ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
