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)!
