Halloween Cake!

So maybe it's not too original, but I've been wanting to make a Halloween Graveyard Cake forever and I finally had the opportunity! My sister is allergic to chocolate, so I made a Carrot Cake with my fave recipe and frosted it with green cream cheese frosting. Decorating was the best part!

Carrot cake
2-1/2 cups flour
2-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 t. baking powder
1 t. baking soda
1 t. ground nutmeg
3/4 t. salt
1 c. packed brown sugar
1/2 c. applesauce
3/4 c. canola oil
3 eggs
4-1/2 c. shredded carrot (6-7 carrots)
1/2 c. coarsely chopped walnuts
1/4 c. golden raisins
1/4 c. chopped dried apricots
Cream cheese frosting

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9" x 13" pan. Mix flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt in a bowl. Set aside.

In a mixing bowl, beat sugar, applesauce, oil, and eggs together. Add carrots. Stir in flour mixture just until combined. Stir in nutsm raisins and apricots. Pour batter into prepared cake pans. Cook until tops are light brown and spring back when touched, about 30 minutes.

Frost with cream cheese frosting.
