Apple Spice Cake with Brown Sugar Glaze image

This is a very simple and quick apple cake that I make time and time again. Great on it's own - even better with a little dollop of freshly whipped cream. Make sure you let the glaze thicken well and SLOWLY pour the glaze onto the cake, giving it time to soak in.

1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees.

  • Beat on lowest speed until apples are in 1/4" chunks and their juice has thinned the batter slightly.
  • This takes about 3 minutes.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top.
  • Bake in the middle of the oven until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean- about 50 minutes.
  • Let the cake cool slightly.
  • Unmold and poke the top of the cake all over with a meat fork.
  • Pour glaze over the warm cake, letting the excess run down the sides.
  • Cake can be decorated with more chopped walnuts or pecans.
  • To Prepare Glaze: Put all ingredients into small saucepan and bring to a simmer, stirring, over low heat.
  • Simmer until the sugar dissolves, about 1 minute.
  • Let cool until slightly thickened- about 7- 10 minutes.
