Ingredients

For the Bread

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 cup apple butter

For the Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice water or milk is ok too

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a 9 X 5 loaf pan with baking spray.
  • Cream together the butter and sugar.
  • Add the eggs and half of the buttermilk. Beat until smooth.
  • In another bowl whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.
  • Add half of the flour mixture to the wet ingredients in the bowl. Beat, and then add the rest of the buttermilk. Beat again, and then add the rest of the flour mixture. Beat until just combined.
  • Stir in the apple butter until the batter is an even color.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake 55-65 minutes, checking the center with a toothpick that comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool and turn it out of the pan before glazing.

Glaze

  • To make the glaze mix together the juice and powdered sugar until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the top of the cake and let it run down the sides. Let the glaze set, slice, and serve.
