Prepare one large or two small pans. Heat oven to slow heat, 300 degrees. Prepare fruits. If citron and candied orange peel cannot be had, cake may be baked without them. Sift flour, measure, and sift a little over the fruit, mixing lightly. Sift remaining flour with baking soda, salt and spices. Cream shortening, add sugar gradually, creaming well. Stir in well beaten egg. Add applesauce which has been drained quite dry. Add dry ingredients gradually, stirring them in well, but gently. Add fruits and seasonings. Stir gently to mix well. Turn into prepared pan and bake at 300 degrees, allowing about 1-1/2 hrs. for a large cake, or about 1 hr. for small cakes.
