Pro Tips for Perfect Applesauce Cake

• Smooth Batter: Ensure your butter and sugar are well-creamed before adding the applesauce for a smooth, even texture in the cake.
• Spice It Right: The cinnamon and cloves are not just flavor enhancers; they add a warm, comforting aroma that makes waking up a pleasure.
• Nutty Addition: Walnuts add a delightful crunch, but they can be substituted with pecans or omitted for those preferring a nut-free cake.
• Raisin Distribution: To keep the raisins from sinking to the bottom, lightly flour them before folding into the batter.
