How to Make Apple Butter Spice Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 7 x 11 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, then stir in 1 cup apple butter.
- 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.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cool, frost with your favorite cream cheese frosting or glaze. (Frosting recipe not included)
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
