Instructions
 

Apple Loaf Cake

  • Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees. While it warms up, lightly grease four mini loaf pans and set them aside.
  • Prepare the Apple Sauce: In a food processor, blend the cored gala apples with water until apple sauce is formed. This will take a bit of scraping down the sides. Pour 1/4 cup of apple sauce into a small bowl.
    2 Gala apples, 1-2 tbsp water
  • Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, apple pie spice, and cinnamon. Set this mixture aside.
    2 cups flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp baking powder, ½ tsp salt, 2 tsp apple pie seasoning, ½ tsp cinnamon
  • Mix Wet Ingredients: Combine the softened butter and sugar for about 1 minute and 30 seconds using a mixer with the paddle attachment. Don't forget to scrape down the sides. Then, add the eggs, applesauce, coconut oil, and vanilla. Mix on low until well combined.
    1½ tbsp liquid coconut oil, 2 eggs, 1 stick butter, ¾ cup sugar, 2 tsp vanilla extract, ¼ cup brown sugar
  • Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Slowly add the dry ingredients to your wet mixture and mix until fully combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Create a Brown Sugar Swirl: Mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
  • Layer the Batter: Spoon the batter into your prepared loaf pans, filling them 1/3 of the way. Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture on top (about 2-3 tsp). Then, spoon more batter evenly on top to fill 2/3 of the pan.
  • Bake and Cool: Bake for 23-27 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow the loaves to cool for 45 minutes on a baking rack before gently removing them.

Frosting

  • In an electric mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and butter until creamy (approximately 2 minutes).
    4 oz. cream cheese
  • Add the remaining ingredients - the Singing Dog Vanilla vanilla frosting, powdered sugar, and almond milk.
    1 bag organic vanilla frosting mix, 1 stick butter, 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 tsp almond milk
  • Mix on low until slightly combined, then turn up the speed to high for about 2 minutes.
