CANDY APPLE CAKE
This tastes just like the red candy apples that we are all so familiar with. The apples are cooked in a mixture that includes red hot cinnamon candies, then placed in the bottom of a baking pan and topped with the yellow sour cream cake batter. Cake is inverted over a serving platter when done and the red apple topping makes for a great presentation. Delicious!

Steps:
- For the mirror glaze: Place the gelatin powder in the cold water in a small bowl and set aside.
- Place the water, corn syrup and sugar in a small saucepan and set on high heat; stir and let come to a boil.
- Combine the condensed milk, white chocolate and bloomed gelatin in a large heatproof bowl. Pour the hot mixture over the chocolate mixture and let melt while stirring. Use an immersion blender to remove any lumps and air bubbles. Add food coloring to the mixture and mix completely. Blend again if needed. Allow to cool to 90 degrees F for the perfect consistency for a drip cake.
- For the cake: Remove your cake from the refrigerator and place on a turntable cake stand. Place a wooden pop stick into the top of your apple and dip into your cooled mirror glaze just like you would a candy apple. Place the dipped apple in the middle of the top of the cake.
- Place the rest of your mirror glaze into a piping bag, ziptop bag or squeeze bottle with small tip.
- While turning the cake on the turntable, apply a small amount of glaze to the edge of the cake and allow it to drip down the sides of the cake. Continue around the whole cake and add glaze to the top of the cake to meet the bottom of the apple.
- Use a small offset spatula to smooth out the top of the cake if necessary. Place sprinkles and candy around the base of the cake and a small bow around the stick for a final festive touch.
Tips:
- Use fresh, crisp apples. Granny Smith apples are a popular choice for candy apple cake, as they hold their shape well and have a tart flavor that pairs well with the sweet cake batter.
- Peel and core the apples before slicing them. This will help to ensure that the apples cook evenly and that the cake does not become too thick.
- Slice the apples thinly. This will help them to cook quickly and evenly.
- Coat the apple slices in lemon juice. This will help to prevent them from browning.
- Use a bundt pan or tube pan to bake the cake. This will help to create a moist, evenly cooked cake.
- Let the cake cool completely before inverting it onto a serving plate. This will help to prevent the cake from breaking.
- Serve the cake with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream. This will make the cake even more delicious!
Conclusion:
Candy apple cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist, flavorful cake batter and sweet, tart apples, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a special dessert to make, give candy apple cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
