Applesauce Sour Cream Pound Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened (no subs!)
2 1/2 cups sugar
5 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 cup sour cream
4 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup chopped nuts
1 cup golden raisin, chopped
1 cup mini chocolate chip (optional)

Preparation

Set oven to 350 degrees.
set oven rack to second-lowest position.
Generously grease a 10-inch tube pan or angel food cake pan (I use my Pan Release recipe#78579 for greasing).
In a large bowl using an electric mixer cream butter and sugar until well blended.
Add in eggs and vanilla; beat until well blended (there should be no sugar granules remaining in the creamed mixture).
Add in applesauce and sour cream; beat until blended.
In a small bowl mix the flour with salt, cinnamon, baking powder and baking soda; add to the creamed mixture and mix until blended (about 1 minute).
Fold in chopped raisins and nuts (or mini chocolate chips if using).
Spoon the batter into prepared baking pan.
Place the pan on a baking sheet lined with wax paper.
Bake for about 65-80 minutes, or until cake tests don.
Cool completely then dust with confectioners sugar or glaze.
