The Cake Slice Bakers ~ 1st Cake from our new book!

Applesauce Spice Cake: 
This moist cake contains both applesauce and tart freshly grated green apple. Chopped toasted pecans add texture and flavor. The combination is unbeatable, especially accompanied by a mug of mulled apple cider. Page 194

done in two versions
below: mini bundt pans
with sugar glaze (as usual my glaze is not up to par)
Introducing our new cake book 
for Nov 2013 to Oct 2014
Carole Walter's
Great Cakes, over 250 recipes to Bake, Share and Enjoy!
below: in individual brownie bowls

Note:  you might want to hold back on the spices
a bit overpowering.....
and I made my own APPLE SAUCE!!
served with ice cream, stewed apple and strawberry and fresh kiwi slices
Note:  in addition to overpowering spice, thus need to reduce the amount,
baking time is much shorter than the suggested 55mins if 
you are baking the cake in a large bundt pan.
my mini cakes took only 25mins and that was already too long,
could be better at 20mins!
and do remember to level off the top of the cake batter before baking!

Do visit us at FB to see the results of the group!

Mmm. Mulled apple cider would be the perfect accompaniment to this yummy cake. Love the idea of the minis, too, Emily =)

I wish I had made minis. My pan was a bit too large for the amount of batter that I had. Using fruit as a garnish was a good idea.
