This cake is fantastic! Very moist with great flavor, and so easy to make! I didn't use raisins or cloves, so I added a 1/4 tsp. more cinnamon, and it came out great. Perfect flavor. I also used 1/4 cup canola oil instead of 1/2 cup butter. I wil definately be making this again.

This cake is absolutely scrumptious! My husband is still raving about it. The only issue I had with it is that it fell apart when it was cut. Nevertheless, it was extremely moist and delicious and I will make it again.

This was really good. I used it for my daughter's first birthday. The only change I made was to add nutmeg instead of cloves, because my mil is allergic to cloves.

My girls loves this! I made a few minor changes- they don't like raisins, left them out. And no cloves. I only had 1/2c. applesauce so I chopped up a small apple to add to it. Plus a little vanilla. YUMMY! Will be making again soon.

This recipe was good. However, the cloves WERE a bit strong. I forgot to add the salt, but it still came out well. I used parchment paper on the bottom of the pan, instead of greasing and flouring. This helps to get the cake out of the pan MUCH more easily. Not my favorite applesauce cake, so I will keep looking... but a pretty good recipe.

Really good,easy to make cake.Wehaven't tried the batter seems to be a hit.

Very good, very easy recipe. Didn't realize it until after I had put it in the oven, but I forgot to add the salt, however it didn't seem to cause me any troubles. The cake did rise wonderfully (I read a few reviews that said theirs didn't) and was very moist with just the right amount of spice. Sprinkled the top with confectioners sugar. Delicious!

Moist and delicious. A big hit with the entire family. I'll definately be making this cake often!

This is so moist and delicious but I'd leave out the raisins and add a little bit of simple icing. Also, I'll probably double the recipe next time and make a 9X13-this will not be enough!!

Tried this recipe today and it was excellent.

Just baked this recipe. It baked quickly, done in 30 minutes and did not rise much, however the cake tasted light. Seems like there is a bit too much salt in the recipe.

Super easy and super delicious AND healthy too! Cloves were a bit strong. Will reduce next time. Only alteration was I put in 1/2 cup of finely chopped walnuts! Yum I am saving this one!

Very easy, very moist, and very tasty recipe. I omitted raisins only because I didn't have any in the pantry; and added 1 tsp. vanilla. The cake baked perfectly in exactly 50 minutes using a 9 inch square pan. I sprinkled a little powdered sugar on top before serving. My husband devoured it.

Wow! I just baked this cake an hour ago, and had to write a review. I was nervous about baking a cake with no eggs, or milk so I was expecting the worst. It came out GREAT. I changed a lot of the recipe - I added about 3/4 cup of cocoa powder w/the dry ingredients, omitted the raisins/cloves, used about a half cup extra of applesauce, and about a tablespoon of vegetable oil, and baked it in a small round springform pan. I topped it with a simple glaze (ref: vanilla glaze recipe on this site), and then sprinkled a bit of powdered sugar. It came out fantastic this is a great recipe to get creative with - Thanks for posting!

Pretty good. To avoid the dryness, don't bake quite so long. Would be good with an icing (caramel or cream cheese) to balance the spice.

Made this for my hubby who said it was definately "a contender". He found the spices just right. My only complaint was that it didn't rise hardly at all, but that's probably something I did.

I was really excited about this cake, but it turned out very dry on the outside and almost raw on the inside and was lacking in flavour.

Truly easy to make and perfect texture - you won't miss the egg. I added 1/2 tsp. nutmeg, and reduced the cinnamon to 1/2 tsp. according to other users' suggestions. I thought the cloves were a bit overpowering - next time I will make this using 1/4 tsp. ground cloves. Yum!
