🥗Healthier: whole grain spice cake mix

💰Cheaper: yellow cake mix

Whole grain mix offers more fiber; yellow cake mix is often less expensive.

Cream together 2 sticks of softened unsalted butter and 2 cups of granulated sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer on low until light and fluffy.

In a separate bowl, combine 2 and 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 and 1/4 teaspoons of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 2 tablespoons of cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon of ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon of allspice. Whisk to combine and aerate.

In another bowl, mix 1 cup of sour cream with 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract until well combined.

Add 4 large whole eggs to the butter and sugar mixture one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.

Scrape down the sides of the bowl and paddle after adding the eggs.

Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the sour cream mixture to the egg mixture, starting with the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined each time.

Fold in 2 cups of small cubed apples into the batter.

Divide the batter into greased 8-inch round cake pans, spreading it evenly.

Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Let the cakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before turning them out onto a cooling rack.
