Apple Butter Spice Cake

by Judy

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Apple Butter Spice CakeOne of the things I like best about moving every two years is the opportunity to purge.  It’s amazing some of the things that find their way to the back of cupboards and closets.  And now that another move to who knows where is on the horizon, I’m trying to use up random stuff in my cupboards.  Like the jar of apple butter I’ve had forever.  Apparently that stuff doesn’t go bad in the fridge since it’s been sitting in there for a very long time. Lucky for that or I would never have made this absolutely delicious Apple Butter Spice Cake!

I didn’t really know what I wanted to do with the apple butter.  I knew I would never eat enough toast to use it up so I did a quick google search and came across an apple butter spice cake from eatingwell.com that sounded really good.  So why not make a cake?  Sounded like a good plan to me. Let me tell you, this was one super moist, super tasty cake!  Both my husband and I really enjoyed it and so did the folks in his office.  The original recipe called for raisins which I’m sure would be awesome in this cake but I didn’t have any.  I did have a couple of apples so I just substituted diced apples instead.  It also said to bake it in an 8×8 inch pan but I used a bunt pan and it baked just fine in it. Apple Butter Bundt CakeI made a simple glaze with powder sugar and apple liqueur to top the cake.  I think an additional drizzle of caramel syrup would be fantastic!  Or even a brown sugar glaze.  Oh the possibilities!
