Dannon Low-Fat Apple Spice Cake

This is a great spice cake with no "guilty aftertaste"! It's good with the glaze listed or with a vanilla or lemon sauce like you make for gingerbread. It's moist enough to eat plain, too!

Pretty nice spice cake. I made it in a 13x9 inch pan and we ate half on its own (no glaze) and froze the rest. I pulled it out of the freezer the night before Thanksgiving and put the glaze on it for Thanksgiving brunch. Nice flavor, not as moist as I was hoping. And while I usually love a lot of "stuff" in cakes I thought there were more raisins in this one then I liked. A few less next time.
