Apple Spiced Cake
This post was sponsored post. All opinions are my own.
I love to cook and bake for my family! With 6 kids it can be hard to find a treat that everyone likes. Many times I find myself making a few different treats throughout the week to meet every ones requests. The one ingredient that my whole family agrees upon are apples! So when I saw this awesome Apple Spiced Cake recipe on the Juicy Juice website I knew I needed to give it a try.
I had fun making this insanely delicious and moist cake with my kids. They all got to pitch in and help mom make this dessert bread. The little boys love helping me mix all of the ingredients together. My older kids enjoyed helping me peel the apples and cook those off. As well as making the glaze to drizzle on top!
We made a few adjustments to the original recipe to meet the wants and needs of my kiddos. The first change we made was using fresh granny smith green apples cooked off into a chunky applesauce, instead of using the dried apples. We loved the fresh fruit in our cake! Plus we ALWAYS have apples in our house so it was convenient as well.
The second big change we made to the original recipe was it the frosting. As a family we are not big fans of frostings, so we decided to make a cinnamon glaze with a cinnamon and sugar sprinkle on top.
