I have served this applesauce raisin cake without icing or with just about any icing you can make. The photos are with a powdered sugar glaze made by mixing powdered sugar and enough milk to make the glaze thin enough to pour from a small pitcher. Caramel frosting is great on this applesauce raisin cake, too. Enjoy!
