- 3 eggs
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 2 cups white sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda

- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 3 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1/2 cup cinnamon-flavored applesauce

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
