How to Make the Recipe

Now, let’s dive into the step-by-step process of making this delightful PieCaken:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, and mix until just combined.
  6. Pour half of the batter into one of the prepared cake pans. Spread the apple pie filling evenly over the batter.
  7. Top with the remaining batter, smoothing it out to cover the apple filling completely.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some helpful suggestions to ensure your PieCaken turns out perfectly:

  • Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing.
  • Don’t overmix the batter; mix until just combined to keep the cake light and fluffy.
  • Feel free to add chopped nuts or raisins to the apple filling for extra texture.
  • If you want to make this dessert even more decadent, consider adding a cream cheese frosting on top!

How to Serve

This PieCaken is best served warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top.
