Apple Sauce Spice Cake

This cake looks beautiful and tastes delicious. It is from the recipe on the label of Western Family apple sauce. I tried it out on a whim and it was a success. A word of caution, add the ingredients in the correct order. Twice I've ended up with lumps of flour because I started dumping things in too soon. I like to serve it warm sprinkled with powdered sugar, real whipping cream (NOT Cool Whip), or vanilla bean ice cream.
