Moist Chocolate Cake

Here is the cake I made for Tia's Birthday celebration this past Sunday. I used my sisters chocolate cake recipe and Betty Crocker's pony design, with a throw together cream cheese icing.
This cake is so good and moist its worth trying, here it is:
1 1/2 c sugar
1/2 c vegetable oil
2 eggs
2 c applesauce
2 c flour
1/4 t salt
1/2 c cocoa
2 t baking soda
Sift together the flour and cocoa adding salt and baking soda in a separate bowl. Cream the first 4 ingredients then add the sifted flour mixture. Pour into a greased 9x13 pan or 2 9inch round pans. Bake at 350 for 35 min or until toothpick poked into the center comes out clean.

The cream cheese icing...let me see if I can remember what I put in:
8oz cream cheese
1/2 c butter
2-3 c confectionery sugar
1 t vanilla
1/2 c cocoa

Cream together cream cheese and butter until light and smooth then add 2 c sugar and cocoa as well as vanilla. Add the last 1 cup of sugar slowly, until desired consistency.



We enjoyed a little party at Grandpa and Grandma's house after church...
