Get ready to have your taste buds dance with joy! This Apple Butter Spice Cake is moist, fragrant, and packed with cozy flavors. 🍏🍰✨
Ingredients:
- 1 cup apple butter
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp ground cloves
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
- 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and give a 9x13 inch baking pan a good greasing and flouring.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the apple butter, vegetable oil, and sugar. Mix until well blended.
3. Add the eggs, one at a time, making sure to beat well after each addition for that airy texture.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, letting those wonderful spices mingle.
5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined—don’t overmix! If you want a little crunch and sweetness, fold in the walnuts and raisins.
6. Pour the glorious batter into your prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
7. Bake in your preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The aroma will be irresistible!
8. Once baked, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Enjoy as is, or give it a light dusting of powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness before serving!
Happy baking! 🍏❤️
