Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9x9-inch light colored nonstick pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
- In another mixing bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and fold just until combined.
- Fold in the grated apples.
- Turn out the cake batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool in pan for 10 minutes, then remove to a wire rack.
- To make the brown sugar icing, melt the butter, brown sugar and heavy cream in a medium sized saucepan over medium heat. Whisk until mixture is combined and comes to a gentle boil.
- Remove from heat and whisk in the vanilla and powdered sugar.
- Pour the icing on top of cake. The cake doesn’t need to completely cool, when it's still a little warm, the icing melts into the cake.
- Slice and enjoy warm!
Notes
- Storage: will keep 2 to 3 days on the kitchen counter, and if wrapped in an air tight container, it will last up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
- Freeze: Make the cake and allow to cool. Do not add the icing. Tightly wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight and then add the icing.
