Grandma Frey's Apple Sauce Cake

During Jim’s chemo sessions, this cake was one of the few things he could stomach. His grandma used to make this when the kids were sick.

2/3 C melted lard 1 tsp cinnamon

1 C sugar ½ tsp cloves

1 C raisins ½ tsp nutmeg

1 C chopped nuts 1½ C unsweetened applesauce

2 C flour 2 tsp soda

¼ tsp salt

Combine ingredients, adding hot applesauce & soda last (put soda in applesauce). Bake 45 min. at 325°. A Bundt pan works well for this cake.
