Instructions
00:00 Introduction
SPICE CAKE
00:28 Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and grease and flour a 9x13 baking dish (or spray with baking spray). Set aside.
00:33 In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugars (granulated and brown), baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices (cinnamon, ginger, allspice, cloves, and nutmeg).
01:40 Add canola oil and melted butter and stir well. The batter will be pretty thick at this point, that is OK, but using an electric or stand mixer will make it easier to combine everything.
02:16 Add eggs, one at a time, stirring well after each addition.
02:46 Add vanilla extract and buttermilk and stir until ingredients are well-combined.
03:28 Pour batter into prepared baking dish and bake on 350F (175C) for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
04:13 Allow to cool completely before topping with cream cheese frosting.
CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
04:32 Combine cream cheese and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl and use an electric mixer to beat until creamy and well-combined. Stir in salt and vanilla extract.
04:53 Gradually, with mixer on low-speed, stir in powdered sugar until completely combined.
Spread evenly over cooled spice cake.

Instructions
00:00 Introduction
00:45 Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and grease a baking pan with baking spray (you may use a 13x9 pan or two 9” round or 8” round pans, if using round cake pans it’s best to line the bottoms with parchment paper, too). Set aside.
00:49 In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugars, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices (cinnamon, ginger, allspice, cloves, & nutmeg) until well-combined.
02:24 Add melted butter and oil and stir well until combined.
03:59 Using an electric mixer, add eggs and vanilla and stir until completely combined.
04:51 Stir in sour cream and then milk. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure batter is smooth and uniform.
05:40 Pour batter into prepared pan (or evenly divide into round cake pans). Transfer to center rack of 350F (175C) oven and bake for 30-35 minutes for metal 13x9 pan (will take longer if using a glass pan) or for 9” round pans, or 35 minutes in 8” cake pans. When finished baking, the cake should spring back when lightly touched and a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
If using a 13x9 pan: Let cake cool completely before icing directly in the pan.
07:23 If using round cake pans/making a layer cake: Allow cakes to cool for 15 minutes then carefully invert onto a cooling rack to cool completely. Cakes will likely be domed and, if so, should be leveled before assembly. Cake must be cooled completely before icing.
Icing
Combine cream cheese and butter in large bowl and use an electric mixer (or stand mixer) to beat until creamy and smooth.
With mixer on low-speed, gradually add powdered sugar until completely combined.
Stir in vanilla extract and salt.
08:09 Spread evenly over cooled cake.
Notes
Storing
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 48 hours or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Cake may also be tightly wrapped and frozen for several months.
Cupcakes
This recipe can be made as cupcakes, fill liners ⅔ of the way full and bake for approximately 17-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs. Will make approximately 30 cupcakes.

Apple Spice Cake and Loaf Recipe: Fall Baking
Buy Loaf Pans Here:
Buy Parchment Paper here:
Print this recipe on my website:
The Dry Ingredients:
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
The Wet Ingredients:
• 4 eggs
• 1 and ½ cups granulated sugar
• 1 cup of vegetable oil
• ½ cup milk
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
The add-ins:
• ¾ cup chopped walnuts
• ½ cup raisins
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 Fuji apples, peeled, cored, and finely diced
• ¼ cup light brown sugar
• ½-1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
The topping:
• 1 Fuji apple, cored and thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons (approximately) granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
Preheat the oven to 350 °F, 180 °C.
Grease 2 (8.5 by 4.25 by 2.75 inches) loaf pans with soft or melted butter and line them with parchment paper.
Combine the wet ingredients in a large mixing bowl and whisk together until smooth.
Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl and whisk together. Sift the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and whisk until combined.
Combine the raisins, walnuts, and 2 tablespoons of flour in a small bowl and mix together. Fold these into the batter.
For the Apple Spice cake, pour half of the batter into one of the prepared loaf pans. If you’re making two apple spice cakes then, pour the remaining batter in the other loaf pan.
Combine the diced apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl and mix together. Add a tablespoon of flour and mix it together. Add the apples to the remaining batter to make the Apple Spice Loaf. Fold the apples into the batter then, pour it into the prepared loaf pan.
Arrange the apple slices over the batter (both pans) then brush them with the melted butter. Sprinkle the granulated sugar on top.
Bake in the center rack of the oven.
The Apple Spice Cake will bake faster than the loaf. Check them at the 40-45-minute mark by inserting a toothpick in the center of the cake/loaf. If the toothpick comes out clean, then, they are ready.
The Spice Cake should be ready at 45 minutes.
The Apple Loaf cake, that has the diced apples inside, will take longer. Up to 1 hour and 10 minutes.
Remove from the oven and allow the cakes to cool for 10-15 minutes, inside the loaf pans. Run a knife around the edges and take the cakes out of the pans. Set on serving trays and cool completely.
Dust with some confectioner’s sugar and serve with tea or coffee. Enjoy!
Notes:
Granny Smith apples are too tart for this cake. It is better to use Fuji, Gala, Braeburn, Honeycrisp, or any apples that will not melt that are also sweet. Red delicious apples will turn to applesauce.
The Apple Spice cake (without the apples inside the batter) will bake much faster than the loaf. It will be ready in 40-45 minutes.
The Apple Spice Loaf (full of apples) will take at least an hour, depending on your oven, to bake.
Chop the apples very small so that they bake evenly.

Fresh Apple Spice Cake
RECIPE COURTESY OF INA GARTEN
Level: Easy
Total: 1 hr
Active: 15 min
Yield: 9 to 12 servings
Ingredients
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup dark rum, such as Mount Gay
1 cup golden raisins
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup dark brown sugar, lightly packed
3 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 teaspoons grated orange zest (2 oranges)
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 1/2 pounds Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and 1/4-inch-diced (3 to 4 apples)
Vanilla ice cream, such as Haagen-Dazs
Caramel sauce, such as Fran's, heated
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9-by-13-by-2-inch baking pan.
Place the pecans on a sheet pan and toast them for 5 to 10 minutes, until lightly toasted. Set aside. Combine the rum and raisins in a small bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave for 60 seconds. Set aside.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla, and orange zest on medium speed for 3 minutes. Sift the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves into a medium bowl. With the mixer on low, slowly add the flour mixture to the wet mixture, just until combined. Drain the raisins, discarding the liquid. With a rubber spatula, fold the raisins, pecans, and apples into the batter. Spread into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Set aside to cool, cut into squares, and serve warm or at room temperature with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of warm caramel sauce.
