Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease a 9×13 inch pan. I always use this glass pan.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and other spices together in a large bowl. Set aside.
- Whisk the oil, brown sugar, applesauce, eggs, vanilla extract, and molasses (if using) together in a medium bowl. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until combined. Fold in the shredded apple until combined.
- Spread batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes. Baking times vary, so keep an eye on yours. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If you find the top of the cake is browning too quickly in the oven, loosely cover it with aluminum foil.
- Remove the cake from the oven and set on a wire rack. Allow to cool completely. After about 45 minutes, I usually place it in the refrigerator to speed things up.
- In a large bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the cream cheese and butter together on high speed until smooth and creamy. Add 3 confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and salt. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then switch to high speed and beat for 2 minutes. If you want the frosting a little thicker, add the extra 1/4 cup of confectioners sugar (I add it). Spread the frosting on the cooled cake. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving. This helps sets the frosting and makes cutting easier.
- Cover leftover cake tightly and store in the refrigerator for 5 days.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease a 9×13 inch pan.
- Mash the bananas. I usually just use my mixer for this! Set mashed bananas aside.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together. Set aside.
- Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on high speed until smooth and creamy - about 1 minute. Add both sugars and beat on high speed for 2 minutes until creamed together. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Add the eggs and the vanilla. Beat on medium-high speed until combined, then beat in the mashed bananas. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl as needed. With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients in three additions alternating with the buttermilk and mixing each addition just until incorporated. Do not overmix. The batter will be slightly thick and a few lumps is OK.

BROWN SUGAR BANANA SPICE CAKE
Steps:
- Lightly spray a 6-cup loaf pan. In a large mixing bowl, combine the baking mix, 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice, the mashed bananas, egg, and oil. Using a hand mixer, beat the batter for 2 minutes. Remove 1/2 cup of the batter to a small bowl with the brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice and mix well. Pour the remaining batter into the loaf pan. Pour the brown sugar batter into the loaf pan and swirl with a knife. Make a foil ring and arrange it on the bottom of the slow cooker, then put the loaf pan on top of the foil ring.
- Cover slow cooker with 5 paper towels before securing the lid. Cook on low setting until tester comes out clean, about 4 hours. Remove the loaf pan from the cooker and cool on wire rack. When cool, turn the cake out onto a serving platter and serve with the chocolate whipped cream.
- For Chocolate Whipped Cream:
- Beat the cream with a hand mixer, until it starts to thicken. Add the confectioners' sugar and cocoa powder and continue beating until firm peaks form.
