Tips:
- Prep your ingredients: Before you start baking, measure and prep all of your ingredients so that you have everything you need within reach.
- Use fresh apples: Fresh apples will give your cake the best flavor. Granny Smith apples are a good choice because they are tart and hold their shape well when baked.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and there are no streaks of flour.
- Bake at the right temperature: The cake should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50-60 minutes. If the cake is baked at too high of a temperature, the outside will be overcooked while the inside is still raw.
- Make the vanilla butter sauce while the cake is baking: This will give the sauce time to cool slightly before you serve it with the cake.
Conclusion:
Apple spice cake with vanilla butter sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for fall. The cake is moist and flavorful, with a tender crumb. The vanilla butter sauce is rich and creamy, and it perfectly complements the cake. This cake is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
