INGREDIENTS
4
large eggs, at room temperature
1 2/3 cups
sugar
1/2 cup
unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup
vegetable oil, canola oil or virgin coconut oil, (the coconut oil that actually smells like a coconut) in liquid form (I'll show you how to melt the coconut oil below in the post).
1 15 ounce can
of pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie mix) - I love Farmers Market Organic Pumpkin and the cans are BPA free.
2 cups
all-purpose flour
2 tsp
baking powder
1 tsp
baking soda
2 tsp
ground cinnamon
1 tsp
pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp
fine kosher salt
approximately 2 cups unsifted confectioners sugar - this is to taste - You will then sift the confectioners sugar so there are no lumps in the frosting

of cream cheese, at room temperature
1 tsp
pure vanilla extract
