I think I’m going to call this a “Drunken Apple Cinnamon Cake.” Not quite as good as the Peppermint Dream, but definitely in the top three. Tastes like fall–what a treat!
Cake:
1 (18.25 ounce) package spice cake mix
1 cup non dairy cinnamon bun flavored creamer
1 cup apple schnapps
3 eggs
1/3 cup applesauce
Filling/Frosting:
1 (3.5 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
1 cup non dairy cinnamon bun flavored creamer
1/4 cup apple schnapps
2 cups heavy cream, whipped
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour three 8- inch pans.
Mix together the cake mix, 1 cup cinnamon bun flavored creamer, 1 cup apple schnapps, eggs and applesauce until blended. Distribute cake batter evenly between the cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, making certain the cake layers do not overbake. Allow to cool completely before filling.
To make the apple cinnamon whipped cream filling: Combine pudding mix, 1/4 cup apple schnapps and 1 cup cinnamon bun flavored creamer. Set aside for 5 minutes until thickened. Fold the whipped cream into the apple cinnamon mixture. Use to fill and frost the cake. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
You make me miss gluten!
You have my sympathies! You’ll probably want to avert your eyes when I share my Guinness cake recipe. 😉
