Applesauce Spice Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting


I seem to be in the mood for baking. This week's cake:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Grease and flour a 13"x9" pan or two 8" or 9" rounds

2 1/2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1 1/2 tsp soda
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp allspice
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 1/2 cups applesauce
1/2 cup water
2 eggs

Mix ingredients into large bowl (I usually cream the sugar, shortening and eggs, and sift fork stir the dry ingredients before adding them all together with the other liquids)

Don't over mix this batter

Bake oblong ~60 minutes, layers ~50 minutes. Toothpick test will come out clean.

Frost with cream cheese frosting.

Sorry I don't measure my frosting
~2 tbsp Butter, a bit of vanilla, cream cheese, milk and powdered sugar
