Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 Tbsp. Antica Spice Blend

• 3 eggs

• 1 cup sugar

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350°F and spray a loaf pan with nonstick pan spray.

• In a medium size mixing bowl, mix together flour, salt, baking soda, and Antica. Set aside.

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk eggs and sugars together until mixture gets lighter in color. You can do this by hand or with a mixer.

• Whisk in oil, bourbon and vanilla. Add dry ingredients and mix until combined. You will most likely have to switch from a whisk to a spatula, as the batter becomes quite thick once you add the dry ingredients. Stir in diced apples and walnuts.

• Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bake for 65-70 minutes, rotating once halfway through. Cake is done when toothpick comes out clean.

• Serve with caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream.
