1/3 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2-1/4 cups cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup fat-free milk
1-1/4 cups cold fat-free milk

1-1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons baking cocoa
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 to 2 tablespoons fat-free milk

1
In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until crumbly, about 2 minutes. Add eggs; mix well. Beat in applesauce and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to butter mixture alternately with milk until blended.
2
Coat two 9-in. round baking pans with cooking spray and sprinkle with flour; add batter. Bake at 350u00b0 for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
3
For filling, in a small bowl, whisk milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes (mixture will be thick). Place one cake layer on a serving plate; top with filling and remaining cake layer.
4
For glaze, in a small bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar, cocoa and vanilla. Add enough milk to achieve desired consistency. Spread over top of cake, allowing some glaze to drape down the sides.
