Lower-Point Apple Butter Spice Cake Directions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.
-
In a large bowl, cream the light butter (or applesauce) and granulated sweetener together until light and fluffy.
-
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, making sure each is fully combined before adding the next.
-
Stir in the apple butter, reduced-fat buttermilk (or unsweetened almond milk), and vanilla extract until evenly distributed.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
