Applesauce fruitcake from The Way To Cook by Julia Child

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

  • ashallen on August 24, 2019

    My sense is that this is a very fine version of this type of cake - but that I'm just not a big fan of this type of cake - it's a bit too lean and raisin-y for me. The spice mixture was nice, however. I used hazelnuts which added an interesting flavor layer. The recipe calls for wrapping and curing the cake for 24 hours before eating - I found that doing so made a significant difference in flavor and texture. I did not soak the raisins in anything before mixing into the cake - soaking them in some type of alcohol, juice, or tea might add interest.
