Spice Cake with Brown Sugar Frosting

You haven’t lived till you’ve tried this delicious spice cake with brown sugar frosting. Easy and delicious, made super moist with apple sauce and fresh apple, this cake is the perfect Fall dessert!

I’ll balk at the Halloween candy appearing in the grocery in July, cringe when I see fall clothes on sale, and insist we can still go to the pool even if our teeth are chattering. But then, eventually, all these things wear at me and I give in. I mean REALLY give in – all the fall deco goes up and all the warm, cozy foods come out. Like this delicious spice cake with brown sugar frosting!
