Time 1h50m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons ground allspice
1 teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups vegetable oil
2 cups white sugar
4 eggs
3 cups apples - peeled, cored and shredded
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup raisins
½ cup white sugar
½ cup light brown sugar
½ cup half-and-half cream
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup butter, softened
1 cup chopped pecans
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10-inch Bundt pan. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, allspice, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
  • In a large bowl, mix the vegetable oil, 2 cups of sugar, eggs, apples, 1 cup of pecans, and raisins. Mix the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, and pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out with moist crumbs, about 70 minutes. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to finish cooling.
  • For glaze, mix 1/2 cup of white sugar, the brown sugar, half and half, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and boil, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens to a syrup, 5 to 10 minutes. A candy thermometer will read 220 degrees F (105 degrees C). At that point, stir in butter, 1 cup of pecans, and vanilla extract. Continue to cook and stir until the syrup reaches 234 degrees F (110 degrees C). Allow the glaze to cool for 5 minutes, then spread the warm glaze over the cake.

1 cup quick-cooking oats
1 ¼ cups boiling water
1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
1 (0.81 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix (such as Jell-O®)
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon ground allspice
1 cup packed brown sugar

Stir in flour mixture and coconut until blended; stir in softened oats and apples until well blended, making sure not to overmix. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned on top and a toothpick or knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes.
  • While cake is baking, melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Boil, stirring constantly, until butter begins to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low and stir in brown sugar and coconut milk until well blended; stir in coconut and pecans. Remove from heat.
  • Remove cake from the oven and immediately spread butter mixture over the top. Set an oven rack 2 to 4 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Broil cake in the preheated oven until topping bubbles and browns, about 2 minutes, making sure not to burn. Remove pan from the oven. Let topping absorb into the cake before serving, about 10 minutes.

PRALINE APPLE CAKE



Praline Apple Cake image

An extra-special apple cake; maybe the best I've ever had. Rich, though. I got it out of a fundraising cookbook put out by a Toronto school. I don't think I fiddled with it much; maybe I upped the apple content in my never-ending quest for truely apple-y apple cake. I haven't seen another apple cake with the praline topping.

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup butter
1 cup dark brown sugar (I use Sucanat)
2 eggs
1 3/4 cups soft unbleached flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 -6 large apples
1 tablespoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F Line the bottom of a 9" springform pan with parchment, and butter the pan.
  • Cream the sugar and beat in the eggs, one at a time, and the vanilla.
  • Sift the flour and baking powder into the butter and sugar.
  • Beat them in to form a smooth batter.
  • Scrape the batter into the prepared springform pan.
  • Wet your hands and pat it evenly into the pan.
  • Mix the cinnamon and sugar.
  • Peel the apples and cut them into thin slices.
  • Toss them in the cinnamon sugar and push them, on end, into the batter.
  • At first they will seem to be sticking very far out of the batter, but the apples will make the level rise as you go.
  • When all the apples are in- pack them in there- press them down slightly, so none stick out more than 1/2".
  • Sprinkle any remaining cinnamon sugar over the top.
  • Bake the cake for 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cream the remaining butter and sugar, and beat in the remaining egg.
  • Spread this over the top of the cake and bake for 15 minutes more.
