I didn't get to taste it--made cupcakes for a cupcake walk--but my children who did raved about it, and keep asking me to make more. The batter flavor and consistency reminds me of my favorite chocolate sheet cake recipe. I used it with the Chocolate Cookie Buttercream Frosting from Allrecipes--minus the cocoa--and I can vouch that the frosting was delicious! :-)

I wanted a buttercream frosting with no shortening (blech!). I omitted the cocoa since I wanted vanilla, and estimated the milk based on consistency. I doubled the recipe for 24 cupcakes. It came out delicious! This will be my go-to frosting from now on. Easily adaptable to many flavors.

Wow! The whole family loved this one. I've made it 3 times in the past few weeks. I use the 3/4 c. oil and 1/2 cup applesauce as recommended. I also use 3 tsp. of pumpkin pie spice instead of the cinnamon. And I top it with molasses spice cream cheese frosting. Yum! Thanks so much for sharing. I had a pumpkin bread recipe I liked, but this has taken top place in the rotation.
