APPLE SPICE CAKE / BROWN SUGAR FROSTING - SO EASY



Apple Spice Cake / Brown Sugar Frosting - So Easy image

Susan Prescott gave me this wonderful idea from my Chocolate Fudge Cherry Cake comments. It smelled just wonderful baking and is so easy to make. Three ingredients is all you need. I had a spice cake mix, a can of apple pie filling, and eggs. That is it. I then made a simple brown sugar frosting... Hope you try it... Thank you...

1 spice cake mix, i used duncan heinz

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Spray 9 x 13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • 2. I chopped the apples into about 1 inch chunks. In a medium bowl, add cake mix, three eggs, and the apples with thickening.
  • 3. Using a spatula, mix well. Make sure all is incorporated well, batter will be thick.
  • 4. Spread into cake pan evenly.
  • 5. Bake for 30 minutes. When cake only has 5 minutes left; start the frosting if using.
  • 6. Frosting: In a small pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in brown sugar and salt. Cook, stirring, until the sugar melts. Add the milk, bring to a boil, and pour into a mixing bowl. Cool for 10 minutes.
  • 7. Stir in confectioners' sugar and vanilla. Beat well; if the mixture seems too thin, add more confectioners' sugar. Use the frosting while it is still warm or it will firm up while it cools and you won't be able to spread it. I spread the frosting on the warm cake.
  • 8. You could also add nuts to the cake or frosting! Enjoy!!!!

APPLE SPICE CAKE WITH BROWN SUGAR GLAZE



Apple Spice Cake with Brown Sugar Glaze image

This is a very simple and quick apple cake that I make time and time again. Great on it's own - even better with a little dollop of freshly whipped cream. Make sure you let the glaze thicken well and SLOWLY pour the glaze onto the cake, giving it time to soak in.
