Everyone in the home LOVED this, and SO easy to make. The husband thought I spent a lot of time on this and just could not figure out how I did the frosting. Thank you SO VERY MUCH for this one ! This WILL be used again and again !!

Can I substitute something else for the shortening?

Use the same amount of applesauce (sweetened or unsweetened, I prefer unsweetened) as shortening in the recipe. Lower fat and cannot tell the difference.

You could use butter. The previous comment suggesting applesauce would be good if the shortening were in the cake. In the frosting, applesauce won't work.
