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.

Steps:
- Make the cake: Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray the bottom and sides of a 9-inch round cake pan with baking spray and line the bottom with a circle of parchment paper.
- 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 a work surface. Peel off and discard the parchment. Invert the cake one more time onto a serving platter.
- 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. 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.

I have not tried this recipe. I got this recipe from Ossg Recipes. This was altered to lowfat from the original recipe. Also to reduce the calories you can use a sugar substitute to equal the sugar. I plan to use Splenda in place of the sugar.

Tips:
- Use sweet and tart apples: This will give your applesauce a well-balanced flavor.
- Peel and core your apples before cooking: This will help the applesauce cook evenly and prevent the skins from getting tough.
- Add a little bit of sugar or honey: This will help to sweeten the applesauce without overpowering the natural flavor of the apples.
- Add some spices: Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are all classic spices that go well with applesauce.
- Cook the applesauce over low heat: This will help to prevent the apples from burning.
- Stir the applesauce frequently: This will help to prevent the apples from sticking to the pot.
- Let the applesauce cool slightly before serving: This will make it easier to handle and eat.
