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.
