Recipe of the week!

Eek! I'm a little slow with my recipe of the week, but it is worth the wait. I'm a junkfood, carb- aholic and this is one of my favorite by scratch recipes, I'm sure you'll enjoy.

1 large egg                                                   1/2 tsp. cloves
1- 1/2 c. unsweetened applesauce                 1/2 cup of water
2- 1/4 c. flour

cream shortening and sugar, add egg and applesauce. Add combined dry ingredients, then water and nuts.

This is a very moist cake. You can frost it, or just sprinkle some powdered sugar on top, and it is great with ice cream!
