Time 1h30m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
3 eggs
1 1/3 cups apple butter
2 tablespoons milk
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 -2 tablespoon warm water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°; grease a 10-inch fluted tube pan; set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and cloves; set aside.
  • In a big bowl, beat butter with an electric mixer on med-high speed for 30 seconds.
  • Add sugars, beating until combined.
  • Beat in eggs, apple butter, and milk.
  • Add flour mixture, beating just until combined.
  • Stir in pecans.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan, spreading evenly.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the top springs back when lightly touched and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  • Cool in pan on wire rack for 10 minutes.
  • Remove cake from pan; cool on wire rack for 15 minutes.
  • Make icing--in a small bowl, stir together the powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla.
  • Stir in enough warm water to make an icing of drizzling consistency.
  • Drizzle Vanilla Icing over cake; cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use fresh apples for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh apples on hand, you can use unsweetened applesauce, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Don't overcook the apple butter. It should be thick and spreadable, but not too dark or caramelized.
  • Toast the pecans before adding them to the cake batter. This will bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant.
  • Use a bundt pan for a beautiful presentation. A bundt pan will give the cake a classic shape and allow the apple butter to pool in the center.
  • Serve the cake warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. This will make it extra special and delicious.

Conclusion:

The apple butter pecan cake is a delicious and easy-to-make cake that is perfect for any occasion. The apple butter gives the cake a moist and flavorful crumb, while the pecans add a crunchy texture and nutty flavor. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
