Combine flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg; set aside. Combine
applesauce and molasses.

Add dry ingredients alternately with applesauce mixture to egg mixture.
Fold in raisins and nuts. Pour into a greased 9 1/4 x 5 1/4 x 2 3/4 inch

continue cooling on a wire rack.

back of a label for a baking loaf pan. It is easy to make and because of
the molasses it is very fragrant while baking. Yield: 1 large loaf.
