Low Fat Apple Spice Cake Recipes

HEALTHY APPLE CAKE (LOW-FAT, LOW-SUGAR RECIPE)

Steps:

• Preparations: Preheat the oven to 350°F/ 180°C. Grease and flour the springform.
• Prepare apples: Peel and remove the cores. Cut the apples into small cubes. Set aside.
• Wet ingredients: Beat the eggs and the sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Mix in the vanilla extract.
• Dry ingredients: In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Carefully fold the flour into the egg mixture. Do not over mix.
• Batter: Fold the chopped apples into the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
• Topping: Mix the sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle this mixture over the batter in the pan.
• Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden. A toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake should come out clean.
• Rest the cake for 10-15 minutes, take it out of the tin and serve either warm or at room temperature (Note 2).

MOIST LOW-FAT APPLE SPICE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large bowl, beat together the brown sugar with the margarine until smooth. Beat in the buttermilk.
• In a smaller bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking soda and powder, and spices. Add the flour mixture and chopped apples/applesauce to the sugar-buttermilk mixture. Wisk vigorously or blend in an electric mixture for several minutes, or until well blended.
• Coat the inside of a bundt cake pan with butter or margarine, and then cover with a thin layer of flour to prevent sticking. To the bottom and sides of the pan, add the crushed pecans. If desired, additional pecans may be used on the sides of the pan or added to the cake batter.
• Pour the batter into the greased/floured pan, and bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until a wooden toothpick comes out clean. Remove the pan and allow to cool on a wire rack. Once cool, invert onto a serving dish.
• To make the icing: Using a fork, combine the powdered sugar and salt in a small bowl with the vanilla. Gradually add the milk while stirring, until it reaches the desired consistency. Drizzle over the top and sides of the cake.

• 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.
