Now that you have baked this amazing Apple Butter Spice Cake, let me give you some tips on how to prepare it perfectly.
Tips:
- Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature before creaming it with the sugars.
- Be sure to whisk your dry ingredients together to evenly distribute the spices.
- Don’t overmix the batter once you add the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined to avoid a dense texture.
- Feel free to add some chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, for an extra crunch and flavor.
- This cake is delicious on its own, but you can also serve it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
