This hearty Apple Spice Bundt Cake Recipe is perfect for Fall or Winter seasons. The rich flavors of spice pair perfectly with the apples and delicious, homemade cream cheese frosting.
To kick off the Fall season, I wanted to share an apple recipe. While we have not made our annual trip to the local apple orchard, I did find some native beauties at the market. I just knew they would be perfect for my Apple Spice Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting.
My Apple Spice Cake is a recipe that has been in the family since before I was born. It is a very “spiced filled cake” that has all the lovely autumn notes of cinnamon, all spice, and nutmeg. It is not the prettiest cake I have ever made because it actually bakes up pretty dark, but it is one of the tastiest this time of year.
I love to add raisins to my cake because I think apples and raisins complement one another so perfectly. This recipe can be made without raisins, or with walnuts. I did not have any walnuts on hand so I used raisins since I picked up 2 lbs of fresh raisins at the market last week.
For my Apple Spice Cake, I used Bob’s Red Mill® Unbleached White All Purpose Organic Flour. This flour is super versatile in that it cake be used for pie crusts, biscuits, cakes, pancakes, and deep fried treats. You can purchase it at most grocery and health food stores, or online on Amazon.
This cake might have not looked a little dark unfrosted, but it was truly the moistest cake ever!!! The tender apples and raisins really made it spectacular and perfect for Fall.
I decided to frost this cake with a homemade Cream Cheese frosting because I love the way apple spice flavors pair with a fresh cream cheese frosting. It was so darn good, and the cake actually was finished super quickly!
Speaking of cake, if you like this cake recipe, you’ll also like my Organic Apple Spice Crumb Cake Made with Mayonnaise! Yes, you read that right – mayonnaise! It might sound weird, but it makes a super moist and delicious cake. Be sure to check it out after you print or try this recipe.
