For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of bourbon or rum to the applesauce. To prevent the fruit from sinking to the bottom of the cake, toss the raisins, dates, and walnuts in a tablespoon of flour before adding them to the batter. Store the cooled cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
