Ingredients
2 cups Gold Medal all-purpose flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp allspice
1 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup Land O’ Lakes butter, softened
2 cup Domino white sugar
4 Eggland’s eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking powder
1 Tbsp warm water
3 apples, chopped
Frosting:
1/2 cup Land O’ Lakes butter, softened
8 oz. Philadelphia cream cheese, softened
3 cups Domino powdered sugar
3 Tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp (or more) maple flavoring
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350F.
Whisk together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and salt.
In a separate bowl cream together the butter and sugar. Add in the eggs and vanilla, mix until combined.
In another bowl or glass, combine the baking powder and warm water. Once the baking powder and water have been stirred up well, add it to the butter and egg mixture and mix all well.
Add the dry ingredients into the mixing bowl.
Chop the apples, as large or small as you want. Pour the pieces into the batter and gently mix in by hand.
Pour the batter into a 9×13″ pan. You will need to use your spatula to spread the batter evenly throughout the pan as the batter is fairly thick.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes.
Allow the cake to cool completely.
Combine all the frosting ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix until smooth.
Once the cake has cooled, generously spread the frosting over the top and serve
