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.

UNBELIEVABLY EASY SPICE CAKE

You won't believe this cake came from a box! It's luxuriously moist, and the pumpkin gives it a lovely orange fall color. Our favorite variation of this recipe is Apple Spice Cake, made by adding 3 apples (cored, peeled, and chopped in food processor) to the batter, as well as adding extra cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice. We also love topping this cake with a delightful powdered sugar glaze or cream cheese frosting!

2 ½ cups bleached all-purpose flour
¼ cup cornstarch
4 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground ginger

½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground allspice
