Snickerdoodle Cake

My awesome friend Alisa made this Snickerdoodle cake for church on Wednesday night. She made it into cupcakes, which seems way easier to me. I'm not a big fan of layer cakes. Let me clarify, I'm not a big fan of making layer cakes. They're never pretty. Actually, they're usually a disaster. She did say that she used a stick of butter instead of the butter/applesauce combination.

I must say, though, that I'm not sure this was appropriate for church. It was absolutely sinful! And the frosting! Oh, the frosting! The best part, at least to my waistline, was that one cupcake was enough. It's very sweet and super satisfying for that sweet tooth of mine. My husband wasn't able to make it to church this week and since he loves Snickerdoodles, I may just have to make it for him. This will definitely go into the Christmas dessert repertoire as Snickerdoodles seem very Christmas-y to me.
