SUPER-DUPER APPLE CAKE
Cake:
- 1 box white cake mix
- 1 1/2 cups applesauce
Icing:
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup of milk
For Cake: Mix white cake mix with applesauce until smooth. May take more or less applesauce. Use at own discretion.
Pour mixture into a 9X9 inch baking pan sprayed with cooking spray.
Bake at 350°F in a conventional oven for 30 to 45 minutes or until cake tests done.
For Icing: Melt butter in a sauce pan. Add the remaining ingredients for the icing, stirring rapidly with a wire whisk until smooth. Pour over warm cake.
Here were some additional notes:
- The cake mix powder is mixed with applesauce ONLY, do not prepare the cake according to the directions on the box!
- Many people poked holes in the baked cake before adding the topping. It tastes a bit different, but is not necessary.
- The 'icing' is VERY runny, but don't worry, it's supposed to be!
- Some posters added cinnamon to the cake or the icing. Again, not necessary.
- The recipe calls for a 9x9 pan, but you can use an 8x8, 9x13 and 11x7 and it will worked fine every time.
Does this sound prize-winning? I love all the suggestions I've gotten, and remember I still have the Christmas dessert contest I can use them for. With WC's appointment tomorrow I'm going to be short on time this week and the contest is Thursday.

I am a sucker for apple cake ... sounds yummy to me!!!
I'm not convinced it will be very appl-ey tasting with just applesauce. I recently made muffins with a box of spice cake and a can of pumpkin instead of the ingreds listed on the box and they rocked! You could do that one in a bundt or rectangle pan and I think that icing recipe would be perfect with it!
oh, or how bout this one? CHIPS AHOY! Cookies & Milk Dessert at jello.com. looks yummy and easy!
Worth a shot! I'd be happy to come taste it for you, you know, just to let you know if it's really good enough. :)
Dessert is worth a road trip!
