MY GRANDMA'S APPLESAUCE SPICE CAKE



My Grandma's Applesauce Spice Cake image

I am posting this recipe for safe keeping. My grandma just passed away and this is my favorite recipe of hers. She always made it at Christmas time. I think it is better if it sits for a day or so to let the flavors blend.

Old Fashioned Applesauce Spice Cake image

I found this recipe on a Duncan Hines spice cake mix box. It was easy to make. It was not too sweet, but sweet enough! I used chunky applesauce & I did not frost the cake -- I just sprinkled it with cinnamon sugar, but the frosting sounds good too.
