Ingredients

Cake:
3 cups all purpose flour
1 3/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg or ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/4 cups sugar
3/4 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons bourbon, apple brandy, or rum (optional)
1 1/2 cups unsweetened applesauce
2 medium Fuji or Gala apples (13 to 14 ounces total), peeled, halved, cored, cut into 1/3-inch cubes
1 1/2 cups finely chopped pecans (about 6 ounces)
Frosting:
1 8-ounce package cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
3 cups powdered sugar (measured, then sifted)
Coarsely chopped toasted pecans (for garnish)
Special Equipment
2 9-inch-diameter cake pans with 2-inch-high sides

Steps:

For cake:
Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Butter and flour two 9-inch-diameter cake pans with 2-inch high sides. Line bottom of each pan with parchment paper round. Whisk first 7 ingredients in medium bowl. Using electric mixer, beat 1 cup butter in large bowl until fluffy. Add both sugars and beat until smooth. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla, then bourbon, if desired (mixture may look curdled). Add flour mixture to egg mixture in 3 additions alternately with applesauce in 2 additions, beating until blended after each addition. Stir in apples and pecans. Divide batter between cake pans; smooth tops.
Bake cakes until tester inserted into center of each comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Transfer cakes to racks and cool in pans 15 minutes. Cut around pan sides to loosen cakes. Invert cakes onto racks; peel off parchment paper. Place another rack atop 1 cake and invert again so that cake is rounded side up. Repeat with second cake. Cool completely. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Wrap each cake in plastic and stoer at room temperature.
For frosting:
Using electric mixer, beat cream cheese and butter in large bowl until smooth. Beat in vanilla extract and pinch of salt. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating until frosting is smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Using long serrated knife, trim off rounded tops of cakes to make level; brush off any loose crumbs. Transfer 1 cake to platter, trimmed side up. Drop half of frosting (about 11/2 cups) by spoonfuls atop cake. Spread frosting evenly to edges of cake. Top with second cake, trimmed side down. Drop remaining frosting by spoonfuls onto top of cake, leaving sides of cake plain. Spread frosting to top edges of cake, swirling and creating peaks, if desired. Sprinkle with pecans. Let cake stand at room temperature 1 hour to allow frosting to set slightly. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover with cake dome and refrigerate. Let cake stand at room temperature at least 2 hours before serving.

APPLE CAKE W/ CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

Apple Cake W/ Cream Cheese Frosting image

I got this recipe from allrecipes.com It is slightly different from the one posted by MustangMom. It doesn't have pecans and the frosting has considerably less powdered sugar, making the cream cheese flavor that much more intense. For the holidays, this cake can be dressed up by adorning it with holly berries. Randomly place clusters of three of red hot candies. Cut several "leaves" from a Granny Smith apple and place one on either side of the clusters.

Time 1h10m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, melted
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
4 granny smith apples, peeled and sliced
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
3 tablespoons butter, softened
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

Stir together first 4 ingredients in a large bowl until well blended.
Combine flour and next 3 ingredients. Add dry mixture to the butter mixture, stirring until blended. The mixture will be very thick.
Stir in apple slices. It hardly seems like enough batter to coat the apples, but bakes up beautifully.
Spread batter into greased 9x13 pan and bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
For the frosting, beat cream cheese and butter until creamy.
Gradually add sugar and salt, beat well.
Stir in vanilla and frost the cooled cake.

Tips:

For the perfect moist cake, use a combination of all-purpose flour and cake flour. Cake flour has a lower protein content, which results in a more tender crumb.
Use fresh, crisp Fuji apples. They provide the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can dry out the cake.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
For a cream cheese frosting that is smooth and creamy, use room temperature cream cheese and butter.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.

Conclusion:

This Fuji apple spice cake with cream cheese frosting is the perfect fall dessert. It's moist, flavorful, and packed with warm spices. The cream cheese frosting is the perfect finishing touch, adding a touch of sweetness and tanginess. Whether you're serving it for a special occasion or just because, this cake is sure to be a hit.
