3. Sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon allspice, nutmeg and cloves.
4. Remove about 1/4 cup of flour mixture to a separate medium bowl.
5. Fold the applesauce into the cream butter sugar mixture. These ingredients will not mix completely.

13. Bake for 25-30 min. Cake is done when a toothpick comes out clean.
14. I just came up with this one tonight. I made cupcakes. They turned our great, very tender and tasty. I will post the Maple Brown Sugar Frosting after I have tinkered with it a bit.
