Old Fashioned Apple Sauce Cake

For our household no cake fits better than an apple sauce cake.  Apple sauce is one of the few things we produce 100% of our own of.  It was our very first all-the-way-through-the-year-self-sufficient accomplishment.  So, a cake that calls for loads of applesauce is a big winner for me.  It calls for absolutely no milk which I thoroughly appreciate as it is expensive and comes in a disposable container. 
August 1st was Jerry Garcia's birthday and I figured that was reason enough for cake.  Not that I really need much of a reason to motivate me to make a cake....

Old Fashioned Apple Sauce Cake
1/3 cup shortening/oil
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups apple sauce
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.  Mix oil and sugar together.  Add in apple sauce.  Mix together dry ingredients and add to apple sauce mixture.  Pour into a greased and floured pan.  Bake 40-50 minutes.
