How to Make Apple Butter Spice Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 7 x 11 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, then stir in 1 cup apple butter.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, and ½ teaspoon ground allspice.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once cool, frost with your favorite cream cheese frosting or glaze. (Frosting recipe not included)
