Apple Spice Cake

The husband found this recipe and asked me if I would make it. I was more than happy to oblige. I love apple spice cakes and haven't had one in a really long time. Of course I made a lot of changes to the original recipe to lighten it up a bit. Here is my version.

Apple Spice Cake (8 servings at 3 points a piece)

Ingredients:

2-3 apples
1 tsp cinnamon
3/4 cup Egg Beaters
1 cup applesauce
1 1/2 cups Splenda
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp ground allspice

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Peel and cut the apples into 1/2 inch cubes. Toss the pieces in a bowl with the cinnamon.

Mix the Egg Beaters and Splenda in a mixer with the whisk attachment until fluffy. While the mixer is running, add in the applesauce and vanilla.

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking soda, cloves, and allspice. Add the dry mixture into the batter and continue mixing until combined.

Stir in the apples, distributing evenly.

Spoon batter evenly into bundt pan. Bake about 35-40 minutes, until the center is dry and springs back to the touch.

Cool on a wire rack in the pan before turning out. You can dust the cake with confectioner's sugar before serving if you would like.

The original directions said to make this into 6 small bundt molds, which would be 4 points a piece.

The cake was great! It actually had a ton of apples in it, so depending on how you like your cake to apple ratio, you may want to use only 2 apples. The husband was very happy with this cake and enjoyed it thoroughly.
