Seminary Cake

  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup applesauce (or 1 cup shortening)
  • 3 eggs
  • 4 Tbs vanilla
  • 2 tsp almond extract
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • 3 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 can evaporated milk*
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup cinnamon
*You can make evaporated milk by combining 3/4 cups hot water with 1/2 cup of regular powdered milk. You'll need to double this recipe for the cake.

Cream applesauce/shortening and 2 cups sugar, add eggs and then vanilla and almond extract. Then add dry ingredients and milk alternately. Butter and sugar the Bundt pan. Put in 1/3 of batter, then sprinkle with 1/2 cup cinnamon and 1/2 cup sugar mixture, then another 1/3 of batter. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.

I often make it with only 1/2 can of milk. This makes the cake a little heaver and more chewy.

Makes 1 cake.

  1. Oops! Somebody in the know can fix this: It should say "1/2 cup applesauce AND 1/2 cup vegetable oil" or the one cup shortening.
