Apple Butter Pecan Spice Cake
Ingredients
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 3/4 cup apple butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup whole bran cereal or wheat germ
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the optimal temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
2
Next, take a moment to grease a standard 9x13-inch baking dish with some cooking spray.
3
To create the topping, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and chopped pecans in a bowl.
4
Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to ensure they're well combined.
5
Using an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar in a large bowl until it reaches a light and fluffy consistency.
6
One at a time, add the eggs to the butter mixture, making sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
7
Add the apple butter, vanilla extract, and wheat germ or bran cereal to the mixture.
8
Mix in the sifted dry ingredients with the sour cream, alternating between the two until they're just combined.
9
Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan, followed by half of the topping mixture.
10
Then, pour the remaining batter into the pan and top it off with the rest of the topping mixture.
11
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 40 minutes.
