Apple, Praline and Cream Cheese Bundt Cake image

Where to begin to describe this deliciousness! This apple cake has all the fall spices and the aroma coming from the kitchen was amazing. The cake is dense, but the inside is perfectly tender with chunks of apple in every bite. We loved the cream cheese in the center and the flavors blended perfectly together. The praline...

Number Of Ingredients 29

FOR THE CREAM CHEESE FILLING:
8 oz cream cheese
1 egg
1/4 c butter, softened
1/2 c granulated sugar
2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tsp vanilla
FOR THE CAKE:
1 c chopped pecans
1 1/2 lb apples, peeled and chopped (I used galas)
3 c all-purpose flour
1 c granulated sugar
1 c packed brown sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp allspice
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
3 eggs, beaten
3/4 c canola oil
3/4 c unsweetened applesauce
1 tsp vanilla
FOR THE PRALINE FROSTING:
1/2 c packed brown sugar
1/4 c butter
3 Tbsp milk
1 c confectioners' sugar
1 tsp vanilla
additional pecans for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 14-cup bundt pan.
  • 2. Start by toasting your pecans in the oven for 8 - 10 minutes or until fragrant. Be sure to toss half way through cooking time. Set aside when they are done.
  • 3. Prepare filling: Beat butter, cream cheese, and sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in egg, vanilla, and flour and mix until smooth. Set aside.
  • 4. Prepare cake: In the bowl of an electric mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, beat sugars, canola oil, and applesauce. Add in the eggs, one by one. Stir in vanilla.
  • 5. In a separate bowl, combine flour, spices, salt and baking soda.
  • 6. Working in batches, add this to your wet mixture.
  • 7. Remove bowl from mixer and fold in pecans and apples.
  • 8. Baking: Place 2/3 of the batter into the bundt pan. Spoon in the cream cheese mixture and, using a paring knife, swirl around to incorporate evenly. Be sure to leave about an inch border, so that the cream cheese does not leak out while baking.
  • 9. Place the remaining 1/3 of the batter on top.
  • 10. Bake for 60 - 75 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • 11. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  • 12. Frosting the cake: Bring brown sugar, butter, and milk to a boil in a small saucepan, whisking constantly. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Be careful, as mixture will bubble up violently!
  • 13. Gradually whisk in confectioners' sugar. Allow mixture to harden slightly and pour over completely cooled cake. Garnish with additional pecans, if desired.

This cake is a little too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I had some trouble getting the cake out of the bundt pan. I think I'll grease the pan more next time.
