Ingredients
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1/4 cup applesauce unsweetened
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Line a 6-inch round cake pan (or a 9×5-inch bread pan) with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
-
Stir flour, baking soda, baking powder, peanut butter, oil, applesauce, egg and honey. Pour into pans. Bake 20 to 30 minutes, until browned and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely before frosting.

To make frosting, beat heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
