SUPER MOIST SPICE CAKE



Super Moist Spice Cake image

Homemade and super moist spice cake with tangy cream cheese frosting. Such an easy recipe packed with TONS of flavor!

Provided by Sally

Categories     Cake

Time 5h

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 and 1/2 cups (313g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup (240ml) vegetable oil
1 and 3/4 cup (350g) packed dark brown sugar
1 cup (180g) unsweetened applesauce
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup shredded apple (or shredded carrot/zucchini)
optional: 1 Tablespoon molasses
8 ounces (224g) full-fat block cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
3 cups (360g) confectioners' sugar, plus an extra 1/4 cup if needed
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease a 9×13 inch pan. I always use this glass pan.
  • Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and other spices together in a large bowl. Set aside.
  • Whisk the oil, brown sugar, applesauce, eggs, vanilla extract, and molasses (if using) together in a medium bowl. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until combined. Fold in the shredded apple until combined.
  • Spread batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes. Baking times vary, so keep an eye on yours. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If you find the top of the cake is browning too quickly in the oven, loosely cover it with aluminum foil.
  • Remove the cake from the oven and set on a wire rack. Allow to cool completely. After about 45 minutes, I usually place it in the refrigerator to speed things up.
  • In a large bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the cream cheese and butter together on high speed until smooth and creamy. Add 3 confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and salt. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then switch to high speed and beat for 2 minutes. If you want the frosting a little thicker, add the extra 1/4 cup of confectioners sugar (I add it). Spread the frosting on the cooled cake. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving. This helps sets the frosting and makes cutting easier.
  • Cover leftover cake tightly and store in the refrigerator for 5 days.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted, plus more for pans
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for pans
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups packed light-brown sugar
2 large eggs
4 Granny Smith apples, peeled, two coarsely grated and two sliced
3 sticks (1 1/2 cups) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/2 pounds (three 8-ounce bars) cream cheese, room temperature
5 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
2 pinches kosher salt
Apple chips, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter three 8-inch round cake pans; line with parchment. Butter and flour parchment, tapping out any excess.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, and salt. In a large bowl, whisk together butter, brown sugar, and eggs until well combined; fold in grated and diced apples. Add flour mixture; mix just until combined. Divide batter among prepared pans; smooth tops.
  • Bake until a tester inserted in centers comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cakes cool in pans 20 minutes, then invert onto wire racks; remove parchment. Invert cakes again; let cool completely on racks.
  • Frosting: In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add cream cheese and beat until well combined and fluffy, about 2 minutes more. Add confectioners' sugar and salt; beat 5 minutes.
  • Place a cake layer on a serving plate. Spread about 1 cup frosting evenly over it; top with a second cake layer. Repeat with another 1 cup frosting and third cake layer. Spread remaining frosting over top and sides of cake. Refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 4 days. Return to room temperature before serving. Garnish with apple chips, if desired; use a serrated knife to slice cake.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe Fuji apples. If you can't find Fuji apples, you can substitute another variety of sweet, crisp apple.
  • Be sure to peel and core the apples before grating them. This will help to prevent the cake from becoming too dense.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • For a creamier frosting, use full-fat cream cheese. You can also use low-fat or non-fat cream cheese, but the frosting will be less creamy.
  • If you don't have sour cream, you can substitute plain yogurt.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

This Fuji apple spice cake with cream cheese frosting is a delicious and easy-to-make treat. It's perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a special holiday gathering. The cake is moist and flavorful, with a perfect balance of spices. The cream cheese frosting is rich and creamy, and it pairs perfectly with the cake. If you're looking for a delicious apple cake recipe, this is the one for you!
