Eggless Applesauce Cake

This cake is not your typical applesauce cake.The two cups of applesauce and buttermilk make it so moist, and the added flavor of cinnamon makes it the perfect cake for fall. You could serve it without the frosting, but the added taste of the cream cheese makes it that more decadent. You can also make this cake gluten-free with the gluten-free Bisquick option.
