Directions:STEP ONE: In a small bowl pour the milk and place the raisins in the milk. Let them sit while preparing the rest of the cake.
STEP TWO: In a medium-size bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and cloves. Set aside.
STEP THREE: In a large bowl beat together butter and sugars until mixed. Then, add the eggs and vanilla and beat until mixed together.
STEP FOUR: Follow this by adding, the dry ingredients slowly to the butter/sugar mixture and beat just until combined.
STEP FIVE: Finally, add the applesauce and mix on low just until combined.
STEP SIX: Fold in the raisins and milk mixture as well as the walnuts and mix until just combined.
STEP SEVEN: Prepare a 9×13 pan by lining the bottom with parchment paper and spray with nonstick spray. Pour cake batter into the pan and bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes — or until a cake tester in the middle of the cake comes out clean.
