Answers: This was my grandmothers recipe. It is easy, delicious and actually becomes more moist if you wrap it in foil and freeze it, so I always double the recipe and freeze one loaf.

i have one that's really old.
the recipe i have is from Good Food and How to Cook It.
70 years old at least.
there's a good fruit cake recipe that's very close, and is, by far, the best fruit cake i've ever had.
(in fact, i have some friends that specifically request some.)
for applesauce cake, you just leave out the last few ingredients.
Fruit Cake
2 C flour
1/3 C fat
1 t baking soda
1 C sugar
1/2 t salt
1 egg well beaten
2 t cinnamon
1 C apple sauce
1/2 t ground cloves
1/2 t nutmeg
3/4 C raisins
---- omit the remaining ingredients for applesauce cake. ----
1/2 C currants
1/2 C molasses
1/2 C citron (i skip this sometimes)
1/2 C chopped walnuts (i always skip these)
Dried apricots, cut up small
1. Mix & sift together, flour, salt, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg.
2. Cream fat, add sugar gradually, add egg, apple sauce, molasses.
I put raisins, currants, etc in the wet mix, original recipe says dry.
add the flour mixture, and mix more.
Greased loaf pan, 325, 1 1/2 hours.
(For apple sauce cake, you skip citron, currants, molasses, apricots, can use brown sugar, and bake at 350 for 1 hour.)
i turn them out and let 'em dry for 2-4 hours or more, then wrap them up. for fruit cake, it's good warm, but after it cools, if it's been left out to cool and dry, i wrap it in wax paper, and age it for a week to let the moisture even out. you can leave it out to cool and dry for up to 12 hours, but you must wait at least a week, preferably 2 before you eat it.
oh, btw, don't store in aluminum foil. if you leave it too long, it eats holes in the aluminum. i always use wax paper. and i never make one recipe. i make 3, 4, or 6. seems that they evaporate rather quickly.
i use the cheapest applesauce can i find. after cooking, you can't tell that it wasn't gourmet.
i've always used crisco. i presume that oil or something like smart balance would work fine, but i've not done that.
This applesauce cake recipe can be baked in a bundt pan or two loaf pans.
INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups applesauce
1 cup vegetable oil

1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1 cup chopped dates or raisins
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
sifted confectioners' sugar or vanilla glaze
PREPARATION:
Lightly butter and flour a 12-cup bundt pan or 2 8x4-inch loaf pans.
In a large mixing bowl, beat sugar, applesauce, oil, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Stir in flour, soda, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg until well blended.
