Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Grease two clean tuna cans and one 9x5 loaf pan. Line the sides and bottom of the tuna cans with parchment and grease again.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream brown sugar and butter. Add the maple syrup and mix until incorporated. Add the eggs and beat well.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and cloves.
- Alternately add the dry ingredients and the applesauce to the butter mixture, mixing just until incorporated.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans, filling the tuna cans about 3/4 full. Bake about 27 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cake comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 15 minutes before carefully inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
- Place cream cheese in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on low about one minute, ensuring that it is soft and pliable. Stop the mixer and scrape down the bowl. Add the butter and beat on medium speed for one minute, until thoroughly combined.
- Turn the mixer on low and add the powdered sugar, followed by the vanilla extract. Beat until almost incorporated.
- Stop the mixer and scrape down the bowl and beater. Beat on medium speed until the frosting is velvety soft.
- To frost the cake, spread frosting on top of one of the small cakes, top with the other, and spread frosting all around the outside. Use any remaining frosting to top the loaf cake, or drizzle the loaf with vanilla glaze.

APPLESAUCE CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
I was looking through an old Fannie Farmer Cookbook, and came across this recipe.The original recipe made a 2-layer cake, but I cut it down to just make a smaller snack size type of cake.I put 25 minutes as the baking time,but you might want to check after 20.After mixing frosting ingredients, you might want to add a bit more powdered sugar to get the desired thickness. Sumitted to "ZAAR" on October 8th, 2008.

Steps:
- To make the cake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Spray the bottom and sides of a 9-in (23-cm) round cake pan with baking spray and line the bottom with a circle of parchment paper. Set the pan aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and baking soda. Add the eggs, sugar, buttermilk, applesauce, and oil and whisk gently just until everything is combined. Use a rubber spatula to scrape the batter into the prepared pan and then smooth the surface so it is even.
- Bake the cake until it is just barely firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 55 minutes. Set the cake aside on a wire rack to cool to room temperature.
- Use a dinner knife to loosen the edges of the cake from the pan sides and then invert it onto your work surface. Peel off and discard the parchment. Invert the cake one more time onto a serving platter.
- To make the frosting: In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, honey, and salt and whisk together aggressively until the cream cheese is slightly aerated (you can also do this with a handheld electric mixer or in a stand mixer).
- Spread the frosting over the top of the cake and don't worry too much about making this perfect. I think a not-too-perfect cake is so much better than a perfect cake. Cut into wedges and serve. Leftovers can be wrapped in plastic wrap and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

APPLESAUCE CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE AND HONEY FROSTING
This super-simple cake, which requires one bowl and one cake pan, comes from Julia Turshen's cookbook "Now & Again," and it's so easy to make you find yourself doing so often, especially throughout the fall when apples are on your mind. (It'd be especially great for Rosh Hashana, the Jewish new year, or for novice or time-pressed Thanksgiving bakers.) The cake's texture and appeal are similar to those of banana bread; if you like, you can stir a large handful or two of raisins, nuts or both into the batter just before you scrape it into the pan. And although you can use homemade applesauce for this, know that store-bought is just fine.

APPLE SHEET CAKE WITH CINNAMON CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
This lightly spiced apple cake comes together in no time at all, and a few swoops of fluffy cinnamon cream cheese frosting dress it up for dessert. As written, this recipe yields a modest amount of frosting, so frosting lovers may want to double the recipe. Make sure to use fresh cinnamon for this recipe (and all of your fall baking) to get the best results.

Steps:
- Prepare the cake: Heat oven to 350 degrees and set a rack in the center. Butter and flour a 9-by-13-inch glass or light colored metal baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the light brown sugar and eggs until pale and foamy. Add the applesauce, oil, spices and salt. Whisk to combine.
- Add the 2 cups flour, baking powder and baking soda, and whisk until well combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and firmly tap the pan on a countertop a few times to release air bubbles. Bake the cake until golden and puffed, and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool the cake in the pan on a rack.
- When the cake is cool, make the frosting: Add the cream cheese, butter and cinnamon to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium-high until smooth, stopping the mixer occasionally to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl. Turn the speed to low, and slowly add the confectioners' sugar. Mix until the sugar is moistened, then turn the speed up to medium-high and whip until smooth and fluffy.
- Spread the frosting over the cooled cake and serve. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days.

Tips:

- Make sure the applesauce is cold before adding it to the cake batter. This will help to prevent the cake from becoming too dense.
- Do not overmix the cake batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dry cake.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This typically takes around 30-35 minutes.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
- If you don't have cream cheese, you can substitute sour cream or Greek yogurt. Just be sure to use the same amount.
- For a sweeter frosting, add more powdered sugar. You can also add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or almond extract for extra flavor.
- Store the frosted cake in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
