"This turned out really well. I followed the suggestions of another reviewer and used 1 cup of unsweetened apple sauce and 1/3 cup of oil instead of the full amount of oil, and the cake turned out mo..."

Indeed, the cake was still sweet, and I feel that I could have reduced the sugar even more, especially since we used cream cheese frosting. This makes quite a lot of cake; in the future I may make halve the recipe and bake it in a loaf pan for our small family. We served seven people and still ended up with leftovers for ten more!"
