1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1/2 cup margarine, softened (I used Smart Balance)
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
4 cups finely chopped apples (I grated on the large holes of a box grater)
4 cups Kellogg's All Bran cereal
Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a large bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Beat the margarine and sugar (I used my Kitchenaid mixer). Beat in eggs. Stir in apples, cereal and flour mixture.
Spray a 9-inch square cake pan with baking spray, and pour in the mixture. Bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Place pan on a rack to cool.
CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
3 oz cream cheese, softened
1 Tbsp margarine, softened
1 tsp vanilla flavoring (use pure vanilla extract)
1-1/2 cups sifted confectioners sugar
With a wire whisk, or in a mixer fitted with the whisk, beat cream cheese, margarine and vanilla. Gradually add confectioners sugar, beating until smooth. If frosting is too thick, add 1 to 2 teaspoons milk. Spread on cooled cake.
