A super moist apple butter bundt cake full of fall flavor and with maple cinnamon almond butter glaze!
I’ve been making a lot of goodies with my homemade apple butter. Here’s my first grain-free creation! It’s super moist and bursting with fall flavor. I don’t normally make bundt cakes just because I don’t need so much cake, but for my guest post for Rose at The Clean Dish, I wanted to do something special.
The best part of this cake is the glaze. Although I’ll sometimes use powdered sugar (mostly just in glazes), I really wanted to stay processed sugar free for this cake. So I was really worried about how I’d make my cake a little prettier. I just thought it was impossible to make a glaze without powdered sugar.
I was whipping up a batch of maple cinnamon almond butter when it hit me – add some coconut oil and bam! Super healthy glaze. So it’s just almonds, maple syrup, cinnamon and a little coconut oil. Yum!
For the apple butter cake recipe, you’ll have to pop on over to The Clean Dish.

Sorry about that! She’s deleted and redone her website. You should be able to view the recipe here (and I’ll get the recipe posted over here tomorrow).
Thanks so much! I look forward to making this. It looks delicious.
You’re welcome! Hope you’ll enjoy it. :)
Where can i find the recipes for this cake? The link is sending to another website..
Thanks for letting me know! Looks like she’s deleted and redone her website. You should be able to view the recipe here.
Absolutely delicious….even my husband had extra slices and he won’t usually eat any of my new recipes(no white anything), so that says something in itself.
It has such great flavor, I’m gonna make it again, with apples being so I abundance right now
So sorry for the slow reply! I’m so happy that you and your picky husband liked the cake. ;) My husband is the same way with sweets so I totally understand! Thanks a ton for the feedback and the rating. :)
Hey Erin! This looks so good : ) I’m looking for a nice cake utilizing apple butter and almond flour. Do you think using all almond flour would be a doable swap in your recipe? I don’t stock coconut fl at the moment. Would you just lower the maple syrup? Thanks!
Hi there! :) I wish I knew how to properly sub almond flour for coconut flour but I haven’t been able to find a real trick. If you reduce the maple syrup, the cake won’t be sweet enough and I have no idea how much you’d have to reduce it by. So sorry I couldn’t be more of a help! I definitely recommend getting some coconut flour. It’s pretty expensive but it lasts for a really long time! Even for someone who bakes with it pretty often. :)
Oh this cake is just dreamy!!! I need a slice with my coffee to make all things right in the world ;)
Oh wow, I haven’t been here for a while. I am missing a lot of the great goodies you have been baking lately including this bundt cake. I have only use my bundt cake once or twice before so I think it is time to bake with it. This recipe is a great contender :-)
Such a great looking cake!
Love the glaze that you came up with! Can’t wait to try it!
I just made this recipe and I wish you all could taste it!!! It’s amazing! I made a couple modifications based on what I have on hand. I don’t have a bundt pan so I made muffins. I do not have any coconut flour so I used all almond flour (1 1/4 cup). I use xylitol almost exclusively as a sweetener in my cooking because of the low glycemic index and easy ratio conversions. In this recipe I used 2 tsp maple flavoring and 3 tbsp xylitol instead of the 1/2 cup maple syrup. I also used two tsp pumpkin pie spice instead of the nutmeg, ginger, clove, allspice because it’s what I had. I can’t keep the family out of them! They LOVE them and I love that they are so energy packed!
Wow! You’ve already made it?! That’s awesome. I’m so happy that you liked the cake! And your subs sound great. I was going to say that I was surprised it came out because of of your almond flour / coconut flour change (since coconut flour requires so much more moisture) but then I saw that you didn’t use the maple syrup. Good call! You definitely know what you’re doing. ;) Thank you so very much for the feedback! I really, really appreciate it. :)
Gorgeous cake and I love that maple syrup infused glaze!
Thanks, Laura! :)
Those apple chunks are calling my name!
Yes. They want out of my refrigerator and into your tummy. I can’t do any more apple cake. 4 apple cakes… it’s too much for me to eat on my own!
Wish I had a slice for my coffee right now!! Gorgeous!!
I’d love to be able to share! :)
Erin, this cake sounds scrumptious. I love the healthy glaze.
Thanks, Jennie! :)
