Apple Butter Spice Cake Recipe: Easy & Delicious!

Ingredients

• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 0.5 cup chopped pecans
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup white sugar
• 0.5 cup butter, room temperature
• 2 eggs, room temperature
• 0.75 cup apple butter
• 0.5 cup whole bran cereal or wheat germ
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup sour cream

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan thoroughly.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, chopped pecans, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set this delicious topping aside.
3. Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Reserve for later use.
4. Using an electric mixer, cream together white sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated. Stir in apple butter, bran cereal, and vanilla extract until just combined. Gradually add the flour mixture, alternating with sour cream, mixing until everything is well blended.
5. Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with half of the brown sugar topping. Spread the remaining batter over the topping, then sprinkle with the remaining brown sugar mixture.
6. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 40 minutes. Let cool before serving.
