Old Fashioned Applesauce Spice Cake~

   

Old Fashioned Applesauce Spice Cake~ 

Hey...at least we had cake to eat during "IKE" the hurricane. This is a good and easy cake to prepare. I've really been into cake mixes lately. The complete recipe is on the side of the Duncan Hines Spice Cake Mix box. It's a good "Fallish" tasting cake.

 

Combine cake mix, 3 large eggs, 1 1/4 cups applesauce, 1/3 cup vegetable oil and 1 cup chopped nuts in large bowl.

 

Beat at medium speed with electric mixer for 2 minutes. Pour into pans. Bake at 350 for 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Cool in pans 15 minutes. Invent onto cooling rack.

 

For Frosting, combine 1 can Vanilla Frosting, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Stir until blended. Spread over cooled cake.

I use two cans of frosting.

I made this cake, and when I went to cut it, it all fell apart. Any suggestions why? I'm suspicious of the applesauce that I used. It was so thin that I could pour it out. How do you find a "thick" applesauce on the grocery shelves?

This looks amazing and I am totally into cakes for the "season". it just feels good to sit down on a cool day and eat a fallish cake. I read on a blog recently that if you take the frosting out of the container and put it in a bowl and beat it with a mixer for thirty seconds or so, it doubles in size. I did it and it works. I was always a two-tub cake froster too, but now I can stretch just one!

Hey Tina,

I had just used this cake mix last weekend! I made cupcakes out of it though with the vanilla frosting. Yeap - they're all gone! Have a great weekend.

Hi Tina,

That cake looks fantastic! I love D-H Spice Cake mix, but for some reason have never made the recipe off the side panel.

That is about to change! :-)

Hi Tina, I just dropped by for a "quick peek" at your blog (I saw your comments on someone's blog, can't remember). I've stayed for a loooong visit; now it's time to start dinner, so I HAVE to leave.
I'll be back to read some more, but I wanted to tell you how beautiful both your blog and your home are! I've got a few great decorating ideas from you already!
Take care, I'll be back when my domestics duties are fulfilled.

Tina- this looks so good and easy too. Every year in the Fall in N.D. we always made a Spice cake for Dessert, during Pheasant hunting Season- it is the perfect dessert to have when we cooked up all of the Pheasant that the hunters in our family brought , during that Season.It does respresent Fall for us. Thanks for bringing back a wonderful Harvest Memory for me.--Love, Valery
