APPLE BUTTERSCOTCH CAKE



Apple Butterscotch Cake image

I was looking through the "The Best of Country Cooking 2007"and I came across this recipe.It was ssubmitted to the above cookbook by Nancy Zimmermean from Cape May Court House,New Jersey.I decided to try it,and it wasn' t too bad :).I have found out that the amount of vegetable oil that was listed in the ingredients made the cake just a little too oily for me.I would suggest cutting the oil to 1/4 cup.Since my SO doesn't care for pecans I left those out.And I also found out that 45 minutes is too long to bake, so 35 minutes might be better.So if you try this recipe,please consider the changes that I have made.Submitted to "ZAAR" on April 28,2008.

From October 2006 Nick Jr. Family magazine. Yummy, moist snack cake with all kinds of wonderful nutritious ingredients. I found this sweet enough on its own, but you could sprinkle some powdered sugar on top to make it look pretty. Great for lunch boxes!

Number Of Ingredients 12

CAKE:
1 box Betty Crocker™ SuperMoist™ spice cake mix
1 cup milk
3 ounces cream cheese, softened
3 eggs
1 large Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored and chopped (2-cups)
GLAZE:
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
3 tablespoons butterscotch topping
2 tablespoons milk
Dried apple slices, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325°F. Generously spray 10- or 12-cup fluted tube cake pan.

Cool completely, about 1 hour. Place cake on serving plate. In medium bowl, beat Butterscotch Glaze ingredients with electric mixer on medium speed about 1 minute or until smooth and well combined. Drizzle on top of cake. Garnish with dried apple slices.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
  • To make the cake ahead of time, bake it and let it cool completely. Then, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, let it come to room temperature for about an hour before unwrapping and slicing.
  • This cake is also delicious served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
  • If you don't have a 9x13 inch baking pan, you can use two 8-inch round pans. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly.
