Add sugar to the softened butter and cream the mixture together until it's light and fluffy. I use electric beaters for this step but a whisk and strong arm will work just as well. Add the egg and applesauce and mix again. Measure the final ingredients, except the raisins, into the bowl. Beat again until the mixture is smooth. Lastly stir in the raisins if you're using them. Turn the mixture into a well oiled 8 or 9-inch square pan or a 7 by 11-inch rectangular pan. Bake at 350° for 30 to 35 minutes. A knife inserted in the center of the cake should come out clean and the top should spring back when touched lightly. Frost with a plain icing if desired.
