Great cake and very easy too. I didn't read the recipe beforehand and missed the part about reducing the spices if your apple butter had spices in it - thought it was going to be way too spicy ~ but it wasn't ~ it was just right. This recipe converted to gluten free very well ~ I did add 2 T of ground flax seed to the batter (standard practice for me). The frosting is just right - any more would have made the cake way too sweet.

This year we had an overload of apples, so we made crock pot apple butter. Then I had so much of that I started looking for recipes with the apple butter as the ingredient. Made this for the first time today. It is the best cake I've had in ages!! Made it exactly as printed. The hubby and I both love it and I can't wait to make it for others this holiday season!! A real Keeper!

I was born in a small Canadian prairie town but was raised in the city. Country living appeals to me more and more and now I think I have the best of both worlds, living just outside the city but within a 30 minute drive from downtown.
I enjoy the wildlife I see out my kitchen window and my vegetable and flower gardens in the summer. And I love cooking with the produce from my garden, although there always seems to be too much at once. Learning to can became a necessity with all those beautiful vegetables and I now really enjoy making pickles, relish, salsa, jams and whatever else strikes my fancy.
I have 2 teenage sons and cooking to suit everyone's taste is always a challenge. Recipezaar has certainly made life easier in that regard, with so many great recipes to choose from.
