1-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
3/4 cup sugar |
1/4 cup baking cocoa |
3/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1 egg |
3/4 cup applesauce |
1/4 cup butter, melted |
1/2 cup dried cranberries |
1 cup confectioners' sugar |
4-1/2 teaspoons milk |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. In another bowl, whisk the egg, applesauce and butter; stir into dry ingredients just until combined. Fold in the cranberries.
