Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease a 9×13 inch pan. I always use this glass pan.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and other spices together in a large bowl. Set aside.
- Whisk the oil, brown sugar, applesauce, eggs, vanilla extract, and molasses (if using) together in a medium bowl. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until combined. Fold in the shredded apple until combined.
- Spread batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes. Baking times vary, so keep an eye on yours. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If you find the top of the cake is browning too quickly in the oven, loosely cover it with aluminum foil.
- Remove the cake from the oven and set on a wire rack. Allow to cool completely. After about 45 minutes, I usually place it in the refrigerator to speed things up.
- In a large bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the cream cheese and butter together on high speed until smooth and creamy. Add 3 confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and salt. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then switch to high speed and beat for 2 minutes. If you want the frosting a little thicker, add the extra 1/4 cup of confectioners sugar (I add it). Spread the frosting on the cooled cake. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving. This helps sets the frosting and makes cutting easier.
- Cover leftover cake tightly and store in the refrigerator for 5 days.

- Bake until a cake tester or toothpick inserted into the cake's center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Set pan on a wire rack; let cool for 5 minutes. Run a knife around the pan perimeter and turn cake onto rack. Let cool.

Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients: This helps the ingredients blend together more smoothly and evenly.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This incorporates air into the mixture, which makes the cake lighter and more tender.
- Gradually add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This helps prevent the batter from curdling.
- Sift the dry ingredients together before adding them to the wet ingredients: This helps distribute the ingredients evenly and prevent lumps.
- Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can toughen the cake.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This helps the cake rise evenly.
- Test the cake for doneness with a toothpick: The toothpick should come out clean when inserted into the center of the cake.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This helps prevent the frosting from melting.
