Spice Layer Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Two moist, tender layers flavored with cinnamon, ginger, allspice, nutmeg and cloves, deepened with brown sugar and a little molasses and kept soft with buttermilk and applesauce, stacked and covered in tangy cream cheese frosting. A cozy fall and holiday cake that is simple to mix with oil and no mixer needed for the batter.
