Directions
Mix together the starter, milk, flour, and applesauce, and let stand in a covered bowl in a warm place.
Cream together the sugars and butter. Add the beaten egg and mix well. Add spices. You may also add a half cup of raisins or chopped nuts, or a mixture of the two.
Beat by hand until well mixed and no lumps remain. Bake at 350℉ (180℃) in well greased cake pan (8 or 9 inch) for 30 to 45 minutes.
Test for doneness with a knife when half an hour is up. Allow to cool until cold before cutting and serving.
