I made these into cupcakes frosted them with Dream Whip frosting and took them to a meeting. They were a hit. I added a teaspoon of pure vanilla extract because it helps eliminate the box taste of a cake mix. Read More

This was very good and easy. Hubby loved it. I added some golden raisins and used a cream cheese frosting instead of store bought. Came out great. Read More

This is really light. The only problem I had was the flour was stuck to the cake sides & bottom. I managed to get most off though. Otherwise the applesauce adds a nice flavor without overpowering. My husband whose mother used to make spice cake from scratch even liked it! (Her's was much denser) I will definitely make again Read More
