Fresh Apple Spice Cake Recipe

Tuesday, October 25, 2022
Fresh Apple Spice Cake Recipe is one of the tastiest fall cakes out there with diced apples, cinnamon spice, and everything nice.

If you love plain cake this is one of the best tastes because it really doesn't need another thing on it and is perfect any time of the day for snacking on and not overly sweet.

During the season when apples are in season, this is my go-to recipe and everyone raves about it.

You can bake it in any kind of pan or even make muffins!

This all made from scratch cake is very easy to make, and it will be gone in a New York minute!

Of course, if you crave sweet treats, we have an icing ready to drizzle on top for you included.

Apple Spice Cake From Scratch Serving Ideas



Of course, apple goes with just about anything however this cake tastes marvelous with no additional sugary anything.


For those with a sweet tooth, try drizzling caramel ice cream topping or another kind you like warm.


A dollop of whipped cream can be a nice addition to this cake.


Of course as we mentioned, a shake of powdered sugar for that snowy effect or a drizzle of icing sugar is a nice addition, or try some cream cheese frosting, whatever you prefer adapt away.
