Apple Spice Cinnamon Swirl Coffee Cake image

If you love cinnamon and apples, then this coffee cake is for you. It smells heavenly while baking. Starting with a spiced cake mix and apple muffin mix makes this easy to make and creates a yummy flavor combination. It's full of cinnamon and apples in every bite. This is a dense cake-like most coffee cakes, but very moist too....

Number Of Ingredients 21

FOR CAKE:
1 box spice cake mix
1 pkg Marie Callander's apple muffin mix or any apple muffin mix (6 oz size)
3 eggs (I used Egg Beaters)
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp cinnamon
1 c yogurt (I used the one with cream on the top)
1/3 c oil
1 Tbsp instant coffee
2 fresh chopped apples (peeled and cored)
1 c chopped nuts (I used pecan, cause it's all I had on hand)
1 c almond milk
FOR CINNAMON SWIRL
1/2 c melted butter
2 Tbsp sugar
1/2 c light brown sugar
1 1/2 Tbsp cinnamon
FOR ICING (OPTIONAL)
3 Tbsp powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1-2 Tbsp almond milk

Steps:

  • 1. For Cake: Sift together all the dry ingredients several times - cake and muffin mix, instant coffee, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
  • 2. In stand mixer, using paddle, starting on slow speed blend dry ingredients with eggs (one at a time).
  • 3. Add yogurt, milk, oil. Blend on medium speed for 2-3 minutes.
  • 4. Add apples and nuts. Blend a few more minutes until all ingredients are incorporated scraping the sides often.
  • 5. CINNAMON SWIRL (best to do this after batter has been mixed as it only takes a minute). Melt butter. Add sugars and cinnamon. If mixture is too thick add a few teaspoons of milk until the consistency of gravy.
  • 6. Pour your batters in prepared pans. For this one I used 6 mini loaf pans, filling to about 3/4 full. Test Kitchen Note: We used a 9x13 pan.
  • 7. Dollop cinnamon swirl onto the batter 2 tablespoons at a time.
  • 8. With a knife, gently swirl the cinnamon through being careful not to touch the bottom. NOTE: I learned the hard way, it sticks to the bottom and cake is difficult to get out.
  • 9. BAKE @ 350 for how however many minutes, depending on size pan. For the mini loaf pans, it took 30-33 minutes. It also depends on your oven. Test Kitchen Note: It took 40 minutes for our 9x13 pan.
  • 10. If you want an icing, with a mix whisk 3 tbsp of powdered sugar, 1/2 tsp vanilla and 1-2 tbsp of almond milk.
  • 11. Drizzle or spread over cooled cakes.

This coffee cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. The cinnamon swirl was a nice touch.

This coffee cake was okay. It wasn't as moist as I would have liked, and the cinnamon swirl was a bit too subtle. I might try making it again with some changes.

I followed the recipe exactly and the coffee cake turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong. I might try making it again with some modifications.
