How to Make Apple Spice Cake With Brown Sugar Glaze
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the grated apples and walnuts.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before glazing.
- While the cake cools, prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, butter, and cream. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the glaze thickens slightly.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Slowly pour the glaze over the completely cooled cake, allowing it to drizzle and soak in evenly.
- Let the glaze set before slicing and serving. Enjoy with a dollop of whipped cream (optional)!
