Spice Snack Cake Mix - Charlene Fletcher

(from a Women’s Conference class on Mix ideas for Christmas gifts)

8 cups flour                                          

1 tbsp salt

2 tbsp baking soda                             
6 cups sugar
2 tbsp allspice                                      
3 tbsp cinnamon
1 tbsp ground cloves

Combine all ingredients.  Stir with a wire whisk until blended.  Divide mixture evenly into six 2½ cups containers with lids (actually about 2¼ cups mix into each container).  Store in a cool dry place.  Use within 10 to 12 weeks.  Makes 6 packages or about 13½ cups.

TO MAKE CAKE:

Pour mix into ungreased 8x8 pan.  In a small bowl, mix 1 egg, 1/3 cup oil, ¾ cup applesauce, ½ cup nuts, and 1 cup raisins.  Pour into pan with mix and stir until smooth.  Bake at 350° for 35 to 40 minutes or until done.
