    I made this for Christmas. Everyone like it. Reduced calories further substitutions I made. Cake part: powdered egg whites, S/F pistachio instant pudding. Frosting: S/F pistachio instant pudding , milk-skimmed, cool whip-lite. Both cake mixture & frosting added 1/2 tsp. pistachio flavoring. - 12/30/07

    I made cupcakes and they turned out great - very good! Only thing was, the bottom of the paper cups became greasy. I, too, would be interested in finding out how to replace the oil with applesauce. - 8/27/07

    You can take a regular box cake mix and add a can of pumpkin to it. It tastes great and you get fiber from the pumpkin. - 8/27/07

    this was sooo good. It pleased everyone and was so easy to make. I just made the 13 by 9 instead of two 9 inch. but next time i will double the recipe and stack the cakes with the topping in the middle. - 8/13/07

    I actually haven't made this yet, but am looking forward to it. I will probably replace oil with flaxseed to increase my omega-3 and fiber intake. Read label of flaxseed package, should tell you how much to use to replace oil. - 8/10/07

    Instead of applesauce, try a cup of plain pumpkin puree. It works really well with brownie mix too. - 8/8/07

    How much apple sauce would need to be used to replace the oil? Always interested in reducing fat and calories! - 8/7/07

    I often use apple sauce in the place of oil to reduce fat and calories. Maybe it would work in this recipe? - 8/7/07
