mix these ingredients well: 1 cup sucanat 1/4 cup applesauce 1/4 cup canola oil egg sub for 2 eggs 1/2 tsp salt 1 tsp cinnamon 1/4 cup chopped raisins

cream cheese frosting
3 oz. soy cream cheese 1/4 cup Earth Balance margarine 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 1/4 cups Hain powdered sugar
Beat cream cheese, margarine, and vanilla with hand mixer until fluffy. Gradually add sugar, beating well. Makes enough for one 8" or 9" cake.
To make the rainbow cake, I used a coffee cake pan (donut shaped) and cut in half to make two semi-circles. I then frosted the top of one side and placed the other half over the frosting to stick them together. Place the cake upright to make the rainbow shape and frost all surfaces with the rest of the cream cheese frosting. Finish by decorating with colored icing over the cream cheese frosting.
The rainbow colored icing can be made using vegan dyes and this recipe.
cream together: 1/4 cup Earth Balance margarine 1/4 cup Spectrum Naturals shortening
beat in: 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 2 cups sifted Hain powdered sugar (1 cup at a time) beating well after each addition. Icing will appear dry. Add 1 tablespoon soy or rice milk, beating until icing appears light and fluffy. Divide into small bowls and stir in dyes. Place colored icing into bags prepared with decorating tips.
