Let's Be Yummy A Gluten Free way to enjoy life's pleasant delights
Fluffy, moist cake full of applesauce and that special blend of spices that lets you know fall is here. Easy and best gluten and dairy free Apple Spice Cake you will ever make!
Crisp autumn air, crunchy leaves and delicious apples. The smell, the texture when you take that first bite of a crisp apple… ah a piece of heaven.
That’s what I was looking for in the perfect fall cake.
I pulled out the cookbooks, consulted my mom and her sisters, tried, tweaked, threw out and started over (too many times to count!!)
But FINALLY, the most beautifully moist apple spice cake came out of my oven. A perfect blend of apples and autumn spices.
This was apple perfection in every bite!!! Oh honey, this is an award winning cake if I do say so myself.
I am not a big raisin fan, but thought I would add them in; well let me tell you, this cake is so doggone good, I forgot the raisins were in there!
Yeah, this is grab a cup of coffee, the newspaper and go sit out on the deck before it gets too cold type of cake.
Warning: once your family tastes this cake, you will have to hide it to have any around for more than 24 hours!!! Yeah, it really is that good.
Deck, lounge chair…I have my coffee, slice of heavenly Apple Spice cake and a book and we are all about to have some serious time together!!
Hope you enjoy this cake as much I do!
