Directions:

Put the cake ingredients in a large bowl and beat on low speed 40 seconds. On medium speed, beat 2 minutes. (The apple sauce takes the place of the added shortening and makes the cake moist. ) Pour into two round 9 inch cake pans which have been sprayed with Pam. Bake 32 to 37 minutes at 350 degrees. Let cool ten minutes. Turn on wire racks and finish cooling. --

Peppermint Icing:--

Combine sugar, water and corn syrup. Cook to soft ball stage. Pour 1/2 of the syrup over the egg whites, beating constantly. Cook the remaining syrup to a hard ball stage and pour that over the egg whites and syrup. Pour slowly, beating as you pour. Beat until spreading thickness. You may use other cake mixes the same.
