Baked Apple Spice Cake with Creamy Butter Sauce

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 325°F. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, and oil until well combined.

2. 2

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the diced apples and chopped pecans.

3. 3

   Grease a 10-inch fluted tube pan and pour the batter into it. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack.

4. 4

   For the butter sauce, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Cook and stir until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce is heated through, about 5 minutes.

5. 5

   Slice the cake and serve warm with the creamy butter sauce. Refrigerate any leftover sauce.
