How to Make Fall Ing For Spice Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. Add 1 ½ cups granulated sugar and ¾ cup unsweetened applesauce to the dry ingredients. Mix well.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1 cup buttermilk.
  5. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 35-40 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. **For the frosting:** In a medium bowl, combine 1 (8 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix and 1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt. Beat until smooth.
  10. Gently fold in 8 ounces of whipped topping (Cool Whip or similar).
  11. Frost the cooled cake and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Let the cake sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before slicing for optimal texture.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
