Harvest Cake

This is a good recipe that I sort of created a couple of years ago. I call it "Harvest Cake".

I cheat and use a cake mix and canned frosting, but you can use homemade if that's important to you!

Harvest Cake
1 spice cake mix, with ingredients to prepare
1 cup applesauce
1 cup pumpkin puree
handful each of raisins, dried cranberries and chopped pecans
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
t tsp. ground cinnamon
cream cheese icing

Make the cake mix according to package directions, then stir in the applesauce, pumpkin, fruit, nuts and spices. Pour into a bundt pan sprayed with cooking spray. Bake at 350 degrees for amount of time listed on the cake mix box for the bundt pan. When it's done, cool it on a rack and then ice it with the cream cheese icing. I like to put it on a pedastal cake plate and put dried cranberries around the bottom. Very festive and pretty!!

I hope you enjoy this cake..it's very moist and tender. However, due to the high moisture content, be sure you put the leftovers in the fridge.

Gratefully,
Cathy
