Ken wrote down this recipe from his Mom's recipe "New Applesauce Cake." So good.

Seems like some of the directions are missing, but that's what he wrote!
Frosting: 2 Tbsp butter or margarine (soft), shortening size of jumbo egg, 1 tsp vanilla, 1/4 to 1/3 c milk, and 2/3 to 3/4 lb confectioners sugar.
