Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup prepared mincemeat

In a large bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and cloves. In another bowl, combine the eggs, mincemeat, applesauce, juice and butter; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.

For sauce, combine sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan. Stir in water until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in butter until melted. Add lemon peel and juice. Serve warm with the cake. Yield: 10 servings.
