Ingredients
    cooking spray
    2 2/3 cups white sugar
    2/3 cup butter-flavored shortening
    4 large eggs
    1 3/4 cups applesauce
    2/3 cup water
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
    2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
    1 1/2 teaspoons salt
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
    1 1/2 cups raisins

Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a fluted cake pan with cooking spray.
    Beat sugar and shortening together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy; beat in eggs until incorporated.
    Combine applesauce, water, and baking soda in a saucepan over medium heat; stir until heated through, about 2 minutes. Stir applesauce mixture into shortening mixture; add vanilla extract.
    Whisk flour, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, and ground cloves together in a bowl. Gradually stir applesauce mixture into flour mixture until just combined. Fold in raisins and walnuts. Pour into prepared cake pan.
    Bake in the preheated oven until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes and transfer cake to a plate.
