2. In a large bowl, whisk flour, brown sugar, cornstarch, sugar blend, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Whisk applesauce, oil, vinegar and vanilla into coffee mixture. Add to flour mixture; stir just until moistened.
3. Transfer to prepared dish. Bake 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack.
4. For frosting, in a small bowl, dissolve coffee granules in milk. In a large bowl, mix confectioners' sugar and cocoa until blended; beat in butter, vanilla and enough coffee mixture to reach a spreading consistency. Spread over cake.
