Categories     dessert

Time 1h50m

Yield 10 to 12 slices of cake

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup vegetable oil, plus more for the pan
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup honey (any kind)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 apples (about 1 1/4 pounds), peeled and shredded
1/4 cup warm water
2 cups confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons honey (any kind)
2 to 3 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Brush a 12-cup nonstick bundt pan with vegetable oil. Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cardamom, allspice and nutmeg in a large bowl.
  • Combine 3/4 cup honey, the granulated sugar, vegetable oil and eggs in another large bowl; beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Stir in the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the flour mixture until just combined. Fold in the apples. Scrape the batter into the bundt pan. Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 55 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, stir together the remaining 1/4 cup honey and the warm water in a small bowl. Remove the cake from the oven and brush with half of the honey mixture. Let the cake cool 20 minutes in the pan, then turn out the cake onto a rack. Brush the top of the cake with the remaining honey mixture and let cool completely.
  • Make the glaze: Whisk the confectioners' sugar, honey and 2 tablespoons water in a medium bowl until smooth. Add up to 1 tablespoon more water, if necessary, to thin out the glaze. Transfer the cake to a platter and drizzle with the glaze, letting it drip down the sides.

Time 2h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Nonstick cooking spray
3 Granny Smith apples (about 1 pound 6 ounces), peeled and cored with an apple corer
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Kosher salt
2 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon honey
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Stand each apple upright (with what would have been the stem-side up) on a cutting board. Working with 1 apple at a time, slice the apples vertically 1/4 inch thick, squeezing together the slices to keep the shape of the whole apple as intact as possible. Immediately place it into the prepared loaf pan, keeping the shape of the whole apple intact with the slices parallel to the long sides of the pan. Repeat with the remaining 2 apples.
  • Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, cardamom, allspice, nutmeg and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, buttermilk, vanilla and 1/2 cup honey in another medium bowl until smooth. Add the flour mixture to the honey mixture and whisk until the batter is smooth. Pour the batter over the apples in the loaf pan, scraping the bowl with a rubber spatula to make sure all the batter is used. Gently tap the pan 3 times on the counter to evenly distribute the batter throughout the apples.
  • Bake until a toothpick comes out with just a few moist crumbs, about 1 hour. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let the cake cool completely, 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes. Invert the cake onto a serving platter.
  • Whisk the confectioners' sugar with 1 teaspoon water, 1/4 teaspoon salt and the remaining 1 tablespoon honey in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the top of the cake. Serve at room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

HONEY APPLE CAKE

APPLE-HONEY UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE



Apple-Honey Upside-Down Cake image

Consider this another great reason to go apple-picking this September-or a fun and unexpected twist to serve on Rosh Hashanah, as it's Jewish custom to eat apple slices dipped in honey to ensure the new year will be fruitful and sweet. Those two ingredients define this upside-down dessert from Martha, and it's the perfect treat to enjoy on a crisp fall evening. This recipe comes from Martha Stewart's Fruit Desserts: 100+ Ways to Savor the Best of Every Season ($24.29, amazon.com).

Yield Makes one 10-inch tube cake, or 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 extra-large eggs
1 cup honey
3/4 cup brewed coffee, cooled
2 large McIntosh apples, peeled, cored, and finely chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease the bottom and sides of a 10-inch angel food cake pan. Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the bottom and line the pan with it. Do not grease the paper.
  • 2. Onto a large sheet of wax paper, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg.
  • 3. In the bowl of a standing electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs. Beat on medium speed until combined.
  • 4. Turn the machine off and add the honey. Beat on low speed until blended. Increase the speed to medium and beat for 30 seconds.
  • 5. Turn off the machine again and add the dry ingredients, alternating with the coffee, until the batter is combined. (The batter will be loose.)
  • 6. With a wooden spoon, stir in the chopped apples.
  • 7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 1 hour 20 minutes, or until the cake is deep golden on top and a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove the pan from the oven to a wire rack and let it stand for 5 minutes. Remove the sides of the pan and carefully remove the cake from the bottom. Let the cake stand right side up on a wire rack to cool. Store the cake, covered in plastic wrap, in the refrigerator for 1 week.
  • To Freeze: Make the cake as directed in the recipe, let it cool completely, then wrap it well in plastic wrap and place it in a large freezer bag. Freeze for up to several weeks.
  • To Defrost: Remove all the wrappings and let it stand at room temperature until ready to serve.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples for a more complex flavor. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
  • If you don't have any honey on hand, you can substitute maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • Be sure to grease and flour your baking pan before adding the batter. This will help the cake to come out of the pan easily.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will usually take about 45 minutes.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • If you want a richer flavor, you can add a cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter.

Conclusion:

Apple and honey cake is a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. It is also a great way to use up any leftover apples you may have. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this cake is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
