Simple Applesauce Cake

1 stick of butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 C applesauce
2 C flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon

Cream one stick of butter with one cup sugar.  Add in one egg and one cup applesauce and mix well.  Mix in two cups flour, one teaspoon baking powder, and one teaspoon cinnamon.  Pour into an 8 x 8-inch square pan and bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes.  Chopped walnuts and/or raisins are optional, but a nice option.  Frost with a light powdered sugar glaze if desired, but not necessary.
