Hello Sweet friends! Monday's post is brought to you by a weekend of baking! I love to cook. It's a fun way to be creative and bring people together! This last weekend I had my nieces over and we decided to bake up a treat! With Fall here apples are in season and they are a sweet treat when you add a little cinnamon! My apple cake bars and cream cheese icing are the perfect treat for a crisp fall night!
Apple Spice Cake:
2 & 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 & 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
1 cup milk
2 apples, finely chopped
Pre heat your oven to 350 degrees
1. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and allspice. Set aside.
2. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter, brown sugar, and sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla.
4. Add the flour in 3 portions, alternating with 2 portions of milk. Mix just until combined. Stir in the apples.
5. Pour batter into a 9 x 13 pan and smooth out.
6. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until a pick inserted into the center comes out clean
7. Let it the cake completely cool before you frost!
Cream Cheese Icing:
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups confectioners’ sugar, sifted
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1. On low speed mix together your cream cheese and butter until combined.
2. Slowly add in your confectioner's sugar
3. Add in your vanilla extract
Once this is all combines it's time to frost your cake and cut into bar size's!
I hope you all enjoy this recipe as much as I do!
