Try Chipotle Powder It will work much better than the peppers in a cake. Here's my recipe that tastes oh so awesome!

Chipotle Apple Pecan Cake

3 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 ? tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. chipotle pepper powder
? tsp. ground ginger or 1 tsp. fresh grated
? tsp. white pepper
? tsp. kosher salt
1/8 tsp. ground cloves
1 ? cup vegetable oil
1 ? cup Splenda? or xylitol (substitute same amount of sugar for regular diets)
3 large eggs
1 Tbs. vanilla
3 cups sweet-tart apples, peeled, cored, and diced
1 cup roasted pecans, chopped

Spicy Caramel Glaze
? cup packed brown sugar
? cup butter
? cup heavy whipping cream
? to ? tsp. ground chipotle powder
1 tsp. vanilla

Lightly butter and flour a 10” Camp Chef UDO (ultimate Dutch oven) or use a 10” bunt pan, Set aside. In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients and gently stir to combine ingredients. In another bowl combine oil and sugar or Splenda? and beat with a hand mixer. Add one egg at a time beating well after each egg has been added. Beat in vanilla, chipotle, and fresh ginger. Slowly add as much or the 3 cups of flour as you can. Stir in remaining flour, apples and pecans. Spoon batter into Dutch oven or bunt pan and
bake at 325° for about 1 ? hours or until inserted toothpick pulls out clean. Cool cake 25 minutes in a the Dutch oven or 10 minutes in a Bunt pan: invert on a baking rack. While the cake is cooling prepare the caramel glaze; combine brown sugar, butter, cream, and chipotle powder in a 8” Dutch oven. Bring to boiling, stirring occasionally.
