    3/4 c (165 g) light brown sugar
    2 lg Eggs
    2 c (480 mL) unsweetened
    - applesauce
    3/4 c (180 mL) neutral oil
    2 ts Ground cinnamon
    1 ts Ground cardamom
    1 ts Ground ginger
    1/4 ts Ground cloves
    3/4 ts Kosher salt
    1 ts Baking powder
    1 ts Baking soda

    MMMMM--------------------------FROSTING-------------------------------
    8 oz (230 g) cream cheese; room
    - temp
    1/4 c (65 g) unsalted butter; room
    - temp
    1 tb Ground cinnamon
    1 c (100 g) confectioners'
    - sugar

    PREPARE THE CAKE: Set oven @ 350oF/175oC and set a
    rack in the center. Butter and flour a 9" X 13" glass
    or light colored metal baking pan.

    In a large bowl, whisk together the light brown sugar
    and eggs until pale and foamy. Add the applesauce, oil,
    spices and salt. Whisk to combine.

    Add the 2 cups flour, baking powder and baking soda, and
    whisk until well combined.

    Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top,
    and firmly tap the pan on a countertop a few times to
    release air bubbles. Bake the cake until golden and
    puffed, and a tester inserted into the center comes out
    clean, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool the cake in the pan on a
    rack.

    When the cake is cool, make the frosting: Add the cream
    cheese, butter and cinnamon to the bowl of a stand mixer
    fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium-high
    until smooth, stopping the mixer occasionally to scrape
    the bottom and sides of the bowl. Turn the speed to low,
    and slowly add the confectioners' sugar. Mix until the
    sugar is moistened, then turn the speed up to
    medium-high and whip until smooth and fluffy.

    Spread the frosting over the cooled cake and serve.
    Store any leftovers in the refrigerator, covered, for up
    to 3 days.
