2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon table salt
1 cup packed light brown sugar

1
Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 325 degrees. Lightly coat an 8-inch-square cake pan with vegetable oil spray.

Whisk the flour, baking powder, spices, and salt together in a large bowl and set aside.

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until incorporated, scraping down the bowl and beaters as needed.
5
Beat in the applesauce and lemon zest.
6
Whisk the flour mixture into the egg mixture until no streaks of flour remain.

Stir in the apples and raisins (if using).
8
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
9
Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out with a few crumbs attached, 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through baking.
10
Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack, about 2 hours, before serving.
