½ cup butter
1 ¼ cups white sugar
½ cup milk
1 ½ cups applesauce
2 tablespoons dark rum
2 cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

The cake was easy to make, but it didn't rise very much. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I found this cake to be a bit dry. I think I would add more applesauce next time.
