Directions

Grease 3 8-inch round cake pans. Preheat oven to 350 °F. In a medium bowl, cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg; continue beating until light. Stir in bean puree and apple butter. Sift together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, cloves and allspice into a medium bowl. Stir flour mixture into bean mixture until blended. Mix in diced apple. Pour into greased pans. Bake 30 to 40 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes. Remove cakes from pans. Cool on racks. Prepare Coffee Icing in a small bowl by combining powdered sugar, butter and a dash of salt. Beat with electric mixer on low speed until blended. Add 3 to 4 tablespoons coffee. Beat until smooth. Beat in remaining coffee, 1 teaspoon at a time as needed for spreading consistency. Layer cakes with icing.
