Apple Spice Cake
Description
Apple Spice Cake blends typical baking spices of cinnamon and nutmeg with fresh-chopped apples, raisins, and walnuts incorporated into a butter, sugar, and egg batter. The bundt pan shape allows even baking over one hour at 325 degrees, resulting in a tender textured cake speckled with fruit and nuts. After cooling, it is finished with a cream cheese frosting made by mixing butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla for a creamy topping that mellows the spice notes and adds richness.
The combination of moist fruit and warming spices produces a flavorful dessert that pairs well with tea or coffee, making it suitable for dessert or snack occasions. The cake cools adequately before icing to ensure the frosting holds well.
