Easy Spice Cake With Warm Brown Sugar Sauce Recipes

EASY SPICE CAKE WITH WARM BROWN SUGAR SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350-degrees. Coat a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter flavored oil spray.
• 2. Add cake mix, eggs, oil and water together in a bowl and mix for about 2-minutes. Pour into greased baking pan. Bake according to package directions (approximately 25-minutes baking time). Remove from oven when baking is complete and allow to cool.
• 3. FOR WARM BROWN SUGAR SAUCE: Melt butter in sauce pan over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, cinnamon and allspice. Stir until butter melts and ingredients are mixed. Add milk and stir with a whisk until smooth. Allow to reach a low boil. Turn heat to low. Stir for one-minute. Remove from heat and allow to sit for one or two minutes. Add the vanilla before serving and stir again. (Store leftover sauce in refrigerator. It will set hard and need to be microwave heated to pour over leftover cake or ice cream)
• 4. Slice cake and place on serving dishes. (I use a low-rimmed bowl but a soup cup or a plate are equally fine). POUR the warm sauce over the cake and serve, preferably with a spoon so you don't miss even a drop of the deliciousness!

FRESH APPLE SPICE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9-by-13-by-2-inch baking pan.
• Place the pecans on a sheet pan and toast them for 5 to 10 minutes, until lightly toasted. Set aside. Combine the rum and raisins in a small bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave for 60 seconds. Set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla, and orange zest on medium speed for 3 minutes. Sift the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves into a medium bowl. With the mixer on low, slowly add the flour mixture to the wet mixture, just until combined. Drain the raisins, discarding the liquid. With a rubber spatula, fold the raisins, pecans, and apples into the batter. Spread into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
• Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Set aside to cool, cut into squares, and serve warm or at room temperature with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of warm caramel sauce.

• Pour the batter into the prepared pan; tap the pan on the counter to remove any air pockets. Bake for 1 hour, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool slightly in the pan, 5 to 10 minutes, then turn out onto a rack while still warm.
• For the lemon sauce: Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar in the top of a double boiler over medium heat. Stir in the lemon juice, zest and butter. Cook until thickened, whisking often, about 30 minutes.
