Spice Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease a 13×9 inch baking dish.

In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and ground cloves.

In a large bowl, whisk oil, eggs, applesauce, vanilla and brown sugar. Working in three batches, stir dry mixture into the wet mixture and stir just until combined.

Pour into prepared baking dish. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

For the frosting, use a mixer to beat cream cheese, butter, light brown sugar and vanilla until light, fluffy and smooth. Spread on fully cooled cake. Refrigerate leftovers.
