Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a fluted tube pan.
2. Mix 3 cups all-purpose flour, white sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, salt, cloves, and nutmeg together in a bowl.
3. Beat eggs in a separate large bowl; add vegetable oil, buttermilk, and 1 tablespoon vanilla. Beat until smooth.
4. Pour egg mixture into flour mixture; stir together with a large spoon. Fold apples and pecans into batter.
5. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
6. Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, 60 to 75 minutes. Cool cake in pan.
7. Cook and stir margarine and brown sugar together in a saucepan over medium heat until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes.
8. Add 2 tablespoons flour; stir constantly until combined. Stir in milk and 1 tablespoon vanilla. Cook and stir until thickened, 5 minutes.
9. Invert cake onto a plastic cake carrier or container; poke holes over entire cake using a knife.
