Sourdough Applesauce Cake

Sourdough Applesauce Cake
  • 1 cup sourdough starter
  • 1/4 cup dry skim milk
  • 1 cup unbleached flour
  • 1 cup applesauce
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine
  • 1 large egg, well beaten
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp allspice
  • 1/2 tsp cloves
  • 2 tsp baking soda

Mix together the starter, milk, flour, and applesauce, and let stand in a covered bowl in a warm place.

Cream together the sugars and butter. Add the beaten egg and mix well. Add baking soda and spices. You may also add 1/2 cup raisins or chopped nuts, or a combination of both. Beat by hand until well mixed and no lumps remain. Bake at 350° F for 30 to 40 minutes. Test for doneness with a knife when half an hour is up. Allow to cool until cold before cutting and serving.
