Mix applesauce and baking soda together in a large bowl and set aside (it swells).

You can bake this in a 9x3 inch pan, bundt pan, 11x16 inch pan, or loaf pans. Bake at 350º until browned and pulling away from pan. Larger flat pan takes about 20-30 minutes. Other sized pans take longer.
For icing, heat butter, salt, brown sugar, and half and half in pan to a boil. Remove and add vanilla and powdered sugar. Pour over cake and enjoy.

Personal Notes:
I like to ice this cake but often if baked in loaf pans I would use as I would banana bread and not ice.
