Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease and flour two (9-inch) round cake pans.
In a bowl, mix together flour, oatmeal, salt, cinnamon, cloves and baking powder.
In a large bowl, cream butter with sugar. Add eggs, applesauce and milk; beat until well blended. Add the dry ingredients and mix well. Stir in raisins. Pour into the prepared pans.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Let sit for 5 minutes, then remove from the pans and cool on wire racks.
To prepare the frosting, place butter and cream cheese in a mixing bowl and beat until smooth. Gradually add confectioners' sugar, beating until smooth. Add vanilla and blend well.
Frost the cake when it is completely cool. Store in the refrigerator.
