How to Make Chunky Apple Spice Cake With Vanilla Butter Sauce
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups packed brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes using a mixer).
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground allspice, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Gently fold in 3 cups peeled and chopped apples, ½ cup chopped walnuts (optional), and ½ cup raisins (optional).
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 35-40 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.
- While the cake cools, prepare the vanilla butter sauce:
- In a small saucepan, combine ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, ½ cup heavy cream, and ¼ cup packed brown sugar.
- Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
- Serve warm cake with warm vanilla butter sauce. Enjoy!
- Do-ahead tip: Prepare the cake and sauce separately a day in advance. Refrigerate and reheat before serving.
