Apple Spice Cake with Dehydrated Apples

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 200F (93C).
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (This link goes to Amazon where I am compensated for products sold). Slice apples into very thin wheels, cutting the apple horizontally.
3. Place on baking tray in a single layer. Bake for 1 hour, then flip and bake for 1 hour more. Once done, turn off oven, open oven door and allow to cool for 30 mins. Once done keep at room temperature until ready to decorate cake.
4. Preheat Oven to 350F (175C).
5. Prepare a Bundt pan with baking spray (This link goes to Amazon where I am compensated for products sold) (preferably the spray that also has flour in it) coating with a pastry brush to get into all the nooks and crannies and set aside.
6. In a large bowl, mix together the brown sugar, vegetable oil, molasses, 4 eggs, apple sauce, vanilla and water.
7. In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and nutmeg.
8. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk gently to combine.
9. Pour batter into prepared Bundt pan. Bake for 35-40 mins until a long skewer comes out clean.
10. Once completely cooled, transfer to a cooling rack.
11. Prepare the glaze by mixing the cream cheese with the powdered sugar and vanilla, whisk until smooth. Add milk and whisk until frosting is pourable, may need to add more milk depending upon which brand of cream cheese you use, some brands are denser than others.
12. Ladle glaze over the top of the cake crown, allowing it to drip over the sides. Top with the dehydrated apples, transfer to cake stand. Enjoy!
