Baby Food Spice Cake

Ingredients:
3 eggs
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup oil
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups white sugar
2 cups flour
1 small jar (stage 2 size) baby food carrots
1 small jar (stage 2 size) baby food applesauce
1 small jar (stage 2 size) baby food peaches or apricots
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

Directions:
Mix the above ingredients. Pour batter into a greased and floured 9 X 13 pan.
Bake at 350 for 40 to 45 minutes.

Frosting:
8 oz cream cheese
1/4 C butter
4 C powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla

Sunni: When I make it I usually double it, pour it in a sheet pan that's like 2" thick. I don't use all the batter. This cake rises a ton so be careful. With the leftover batter I make cupcakes. You will definitely want to double the frosting though! It's the BEST cream cheese frosting ever! Play with the baking times. This cake cooks kinda dark so it's hard to judge when it's done.
