takin' the night off

I got to take the night off... while the kids did this...
Pizzas with olive oil, mozzarella, basil, tomatoes, parmesan and feta

...and Havalah made one of these. Ever had an Applesauce cake before? Havalah choose this recipe from one of her books and it was SO DELICIOUS! Normally, I'm not a spice, raisin cake person, but after eating this, I think I've become one! ;)
Applesauce Cake
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
cream together - then add
1 1/4 flour
1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
1 t cinnamon
1/2 t allspice
1 cup applesauce
2/3 raisins
pour it into a 9 inch, greased pan and bake at 375 for 35-40 minutes
For the frosting
2 T butter
2 cup powdered sugar
1 T vanilla
3 T milk
pour the frosting over the cake while it is warm - it soaks right in!
