Buttery Apple Cake With Basil Cream Cheese Frosting And Apple Chips

"Take apples to an elegant new level with this Buttery Apple Cake with Basil Cream Cheese Frosting. It all starts with a super moist & buttery cake that is topped with sweet slices of buttery apples. For extra drama, two cake layers are stacked on top of each other, then topped with a fluffy layer of cream cheese frosting enhanced with a hint of basil. The already dreamy cake is topped with a pile of homemade apple chips.  Not only are these chips a beautiful way to elevate your desserts, they are also a tasty snack in their own right."

NotesThe cake is also a showstopper when made into a single layer. Double the cake recipe if you want a two layer cake as pictured.

You can increase or decrease the basil extract to your taste preferences.
