Editing Spiced Apple Cake (section)

==Instructions==
===Cake===
# Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) conventional (see note 3 if using a convection oven with a fan) and grease two 8x3 inch cake tins.
# In a bowl, sift together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and nutmeg. Using a whisk, mix until well combined. Set aside.
# Finely grate two apples (minus the core - see video for how I do this) and measure the grated apple out so you have two cups (300g). Set aside.
# In a large bowl combine light brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, milk, vanilla and shredded apple from previous step. Using a whisk, mix until well combined and smooth.
# Pour your dry ingredients into your wet ingredients and using a spatula, gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix the batter (see note 4).
# Distribute the batter evenly into the two 8 inch cake tins, and bake for 30-33 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs on it.
# Once baked, allow the cakes to cool in the cake tins for 20 minutes before turning them out onto a wire rack. While cooling, prepare the apple filling and cream cheese frosting.

===Filling===
# Add all the ingredients to a saucepan. Place the saucepan over a medium heat and cook until the butter and sugar are completely melted, making sure to stir continuously.
# Cook for another few minutes until the filling is thick. Once ready, place into a bowl to cool. 

===Frosting===
# To a large bowl add in unsalted butter and using an electric mixer (see note 5 if using a stand mixer) cream for a few minutes on a medium high speed until light and fluffy.
# Add in the powdered sugar in 3 batches while mixing on low. Ensure that each batch of powdered sugar is mixed into the butter well before adding in the next batch.
# Next add in cold cream cheese, vanilla, fresh lemon juice and cinnamon and mix on a medium speed just until the frosting is smooth. Avoid over-mixing as the more you mix the softer the frosting will become. 

===Finishing===
# Using a serrated knife, level the tops of the cake layers so they're nice and flat.
# Place the first cake layer onto your cake stand and place a generous amount of the cream cheese buttercream on top and smooth it out with an offset spatula.
# Using a 1M piping tip, pipe a dam of frosting around the edges of the cake layer. Fill the middle with the apple filling (make sure the filling isn't warm otherwise it will melt the frosting).
# Place your next cake layer on top and cover the top and sides with more buttercream. I like to use a cake scraper to smooth out the sides.
# Using the same 1M piping tip, pipe some swirls on the top of the cake and you can use the extra frosting to do additional piping too
