Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
- Peel, core, and chop the apples into small pieces. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This can be done using a hand mixer or a stand mixer for about 2-3 minutes on medium speed.
- Beat in the egg until fully incorporated into the butter and sugar mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and allspice.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the chopped apples and pecans until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into squares and serve.
Tips:
- For extra moisture, you can grate the apples instead of chopping them. This will ensure a more even distribution throughout the cake.
- Toast the pecans before adding them to the batter to enhance their natural flavor.
- Make sure the butter is at room temperature before mixing it with sugar for a smooth and fluffy texture.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before cutting to ensure clean slices.
- If you want to add an extra layer of flavor, consider sprinkling the cake with a light dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
Congratulations! You've just prepared a delicious Apple and Pecan Cake. Enjoy each slice with a warm beverage of your choice, or serve it as a delightful dessert after a meal. This cake is sure to become a favorite in your recipe collection, blending the flavors of fall with the satisfying crunch of pecans.
