Apple Spice Cake

Recipe #201105 | 1¼ hours | 5 min prep | add private note

I found this in a magazine, but adapted it to my likes. I love apples, spice, and caramel, so it was a little slice of heaven for me. Impress everyone at your next dinner party with this easy recipe.

SERVES 12 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 1 (18 1/4 ounce)  French vanilla cake mix (don't substitute the flavor, it's so much better with this one!)

  • 1 cup applesauce
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/3 cup oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
  • caramel ice cream topping

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a Bundt pan.
  2. 2
    Beat together the cake mix, water, applesauce, oil, eggs, and spice, scraping down the sides as needed. Fold in the nuts and raisins.
  3. 3
    Pour into the Bundt pan and bake until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. (My oven has major hot spots and I have to really adapt the time, so it will vary among ovens. I'm going to say 45-55 minutes as an estimate.).
  4. 4
    Cool 10 minute in the pan; turn onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  5. 5
    When it is cool, place on a cake plate and drizzle with the caramel ice cream topping and nuts, if desired.

Very nice and moist and tasty! I left out the pecans b/c I didn't have any and I forgot to put the raisins in. I drizzled the caramel sauce over the top of the whole cake but I think it would have been better if I waited and drizzled each piece seperately. The caramel soaked into the cake adn I ended up putting more caramel on top when I served it. I think using chunky applesauce would be really good too.

    This is really good! I didn't use the pecans or raisins and it was still fabulous. I made a caramel icing and drizzled it over the top of the cake while it was still warm, although it would have been great without it too. I will certainly make this again!!

    Now this review is strictly mine,because I won't let anyone else have anySuper moist and just the right amount of spiceness.I didn't have any ice cream topping,so I did a "ZAAR" search and came up with Caramel Sauce and it worked just great.This will be made again,and everytime I do,I'll think of you Amy."Keep Smiling"
