Provided by Erin Jeanne McDowell

Time 2h10m

Yield One 9-by-13-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 20

Nonstick cooking spray
1/2 cup vegetable oil or another neutral oil, such as canola
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 cup light-brown or dark-brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
2 medium apples, peeled, cored and chopped
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup dark-brown sugar
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch ground cinnamon
1/2 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with nonstick spray.

APPLE SHEET CAKE WITH CINNAMON CREAM CHEESE FROSTING



Apple Sheet Cake With Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting image

This lightly spiced apple cake comes together in no time at all, and a few swoops of fluffy cinnamon cream cheese frosting dress it up for dessert. As written, this recipe yields a modest amount of frosting, so frosting lovers may want to double the recipe. Make sure to use fresh cinnamon for this recipe (and all of your fall baking) to get the best results.

Categories     cakes, dessert

Time 45m

Yield 12 servings (one 9-by-13-inch cake)

Number Of Ingredients 17

Unsalted butter, for greasing the pan
2 cups/255 grams all-purpose flour, plus more for preparing the pan
3/4 cup/165 grams light brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 cups/480 milliliters unsweetened applesauce
3/4 cup/180 milliliters neutral oil, such as canola or grapeseed
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
8 ounces/230 grams cream cheese, at room temperature
1/4 cup/65 grams unsalted butter (1/2 stick), at room temperature
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 cup/100 grams confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Prepare the cake: Heat oven to 350 degrees and set a rack in the center. Butter and flour a 9-by-13-inch glass or light colored metal baking pan.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the light brown sugar and eggs until pale and foamy. Add the applesauce, oil, spices and salt. Whisk to combine.
  • Add the 2 cups flour, baking powder and baking soda, and whisk until well combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and firmly tap the pan on a countertop a few times to release air bubbles. Bake the cake until golden and puffed, and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool the cake in the pan on a rack.
  • When the cake is cool, make the frosting: Add the cream cheese, butter and cinnamon to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium-high until smooth, stopping the mixer occasionally to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl. Turn the speed to low, and slowly add the confectioners' sugar. Mix until the sugar is moistened, then turn the speed up to medium-high and whip until smooth and fluffy.
  • Spread the frosting over the cooled cake and serve. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days.

Teddie's Apple Cake image

In a modern world of Cinnamon Hot Pockets and Pecan Pie Pringles, apple-picking is one of the few agricultural rituals we can all still get our hands into. This cake - a classic from 1973 - is a godsend to anyone who has overloaded at the pick-your-own orchard or overbought at the farmers' market. Like many simple cakes, this one uses neutral oil that lets the fruit flavor come through, rather than show-offy butter.

  • Use the right apples: For the best flavor and texture, use a firm, tart apple such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Don't overbake the cake: The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will make the cake dry.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
