Variations

  • Nutty Crunch: Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the batter.
  • Caramel Apple Version: Drizzle with caramel sauce instead of glaze.
  • Spiced Twist: Add ½ teaspoon nutmeg or allspice for extra warmth.
  • From-Scratch Alternative: Use a homemade vanilla cake batter instead of a boxed mix.

Tips for the Best Cake

Don’t overmix the batter to keep the cake light and fluffy.
Let it cool before glazing so the glaze doesn’t melt completely.
For extra apple flavor, chop up fresh apples and mix them into the batter.
Pairs perfectly with coffee or tea!
