Thompson's Cake

A quite dense, yellow, cinnamon cake. This is my very own creation. :)

• 1⁄2 cup  cinnamon applesauce
• 4  extra large eggs, room temperature
• 1  cup salted butter, room temperature
• 3  cups all-purpose flour
• 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
• 2  cups sugar
• 1⁄8 cup light brown sugar
• 1  cup buttermilk

Directions

1. Preheat oven at 325 degrees. Set to middle rack.
2. Cream sugar and butter well. Add cinnamon applesauce and mix well. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each added.
3. Sift flour and baking soda.Add sifted flour mix to creamed mixture in three additions, alternating with buttermilk, ending with the dry mixture. Mix well. The batter will be fairly thick.
4. Pour into a greased and floured 9x13 pan. Bake for an hour to hour and a half. Cool completely before frosting.
5. A cream cheese frosting goes very well with this cake.
