Ingredients
  

  • 2 ½ cups Flour
  • 1 ¾ cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ½ teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon Cloves ground
  • ½ teaspoon Allspice ground
  • ½ teaspoon Nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon Ginger ground
  • 1 ¾ cup Apple Sauce
  • ½ cup Butter
  • 3 Eggs
  • 1 cup Raisins
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 4 cups Icing Sugar
  • ¼ cup Cream
  • 1 tablespoon Rose Water

Instructions
 

  • Start your oven heating to 175 C / 350 F / Gas Mark 4.
  • Grease and flour your two cake tins. Set aside.
  • Mix flour, brown sugar, salt, soda, spices, baking powder. Beat in butter and applesauce, then the eggs. Stir in the raisins.
  • Divide the mixture between the two cake pans; bake for about 35 minutes, until toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before turning out on a rack.
  • While the cake is baking, make the frosting by beating together the icing sugar, cream and the rosewater.
  • To assemble, place one cake on a plate, then cover its top with frosting. Place the other cake on top of that. Then mix the remaining frosting with a tablespoon or so of cream to thin it, and drizzle it on the top and down the sides.

Notes

Use two 9 inch (23 cm) round cake tins.
Instead of butter you can use shortening or margarine or oil.
