Raisin Applesauce Cake image

This cake is one of my grandfather's favorites. And it seems like he always knows when you're making it-he must have a keen sense of smell! The recipe was passed down through the generations beginning with my great-grandmother. Sometimes I can imagine her making it all those years ago.
