How to Make Apple Spice Cake With Cream Cheese Icing

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Fold in the apples and walnuts (if using).
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  9. While the cake cools, prepare the cream cheese frosting: In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla, beating until light and fluffy.
  10. Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cake.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the frosting to set.
