• 3 tsp cinnamon

• 3 eggs

• 1 cup oil (half applesauce)

• 1 1/2 cups sugar

Instructions

1. Whisk together dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. 

2. In another bowl, whisk eggs, oil, sugar, and vanilla.

6. Cool completely and frost with cream cheese frosting.

7. For frosting: Beat cream cheese and butter in a mixing bowl till smooth. Beat in powdered sugar and vanilla. I don't usually need to add any milk, but you might. Add as much as you need to get a creamy, spreadable consistency.

• 1 Tbsp milk (if needed)
