Apple Spice Loaf Cake with Spiced Cream Cheese Frosting

This spiced loaf cake by Miller Union pastry chef Claudia Martinez pulls in fall flavors with cinnamon, ginger, apples, and a richly spiced cream cheese frosting. The result is a balance of tartness from the apples, robust and warming spices, and tangy cream cheese. The loaf cake recipe is straightforward enough to make during a weeknight evening, but you can use a piping bag to ice it for an eye-catching finish.
