Applesauce-Carrot Cake

This is my version of an old recipe. It comes out moist and fluffy. You can't fail. I have made it both as
cupcakes and square cake.

1 2/3 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
grated carrot - about 1/4 cup
1/2 cup applesauce
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon vinegar
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
Mix dry ingredients together in a bowl. Make a well in the middle and add the wet ingredients mixing them together first and then incorporating the flour completely. Pour into ungreased 8 inch square pan or muffin tin lined with baking cups.
Bake at 350 degrees 30 -35 minutes

I made a frosting with about 2 tablespoons Tofutti and 1 cup powdered sugar, thinned with water to drizzle consistency and 1 drop almond flavoring. (These measurements are not exact. This is the best that I can remember.)
