Cinnamon, nutmeg, and toasted walnuts make this loaf cake taste as great as it smells. 

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup walnuts (chopped)
• 1 1/2 cup applesauce
• 1 egg
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cup flour (all purpose)
• 2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (ground)
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (ground)
• 1 cup raisins

Directions

1. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease 2 (8x4x2 inch) loaf pans.
2. Toast walnuts in an ungreased skillet pan. Stir while heating on medium-low heat for 5-7 minutes. They are done when they are brown and smell nutty. Set aside to cool.
3. Mix applesauce, egg, sugar, oil and vanilla in a large bowl.
4. Mix flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a smaller bowl.
5. Pour flour mixture into applesauce mixture.
6. Stir in raisins and cooled toasted nuts.
7. Pour half of the batter into each greased pan. Bake for 45-55 minutes.
8. Remove cakes from the oven. Cool for 10 minutes. Remove from pans to finish cooling. For best taste, let cakes cool a few hours before serving.
