APPLE CHOCOLATE CAKE

Categories     dessert

Time 2h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 stick salted butter, at room temperature, plus more for buttering the pan
1 1/2 cups vanilla wafer cookies, such as Nilla, crushed
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
3 large eggs, at room temperature
3/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
2 large apples such as Honey Crisp, peeled and cut into small dice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan and dust all sides with the crushed vanilla wafers; set aside. Sift the flour and baking powder together in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Using a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk the eggs on high speed until pale and very thick, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium saucepan and cook, scraping the sides and bottom of the pan to prevent burning, until the butter browns and smells nutty, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Add 3/4 cup of the granulated sugar to the eggs. Add one-third of the flour mixture, then half of the butter, another third of the flour, the remaining butter and the rest of flour, mixing between additions. Whisk until just barely combined. Using a spatula, gently fold the batter until the ingredients are combined. It is very important not to over-whisk or over-fold the batter or it will lose volume. Pour into the prepared pan.
  • In a medium bowl, toss the apples, cinnamon, lemon zest and remaining 2 teaspoons granulated sugar and pour on top of the batter. Sprinkle on the chocolate chips and bake until the cake is golden brown and springs back to the touch, 40 to 50 minutes. Release the pan when cooled and sprinkle the cake with confectioners' sugar.

CHOCOLATE TOPPED APPLE CAKE



Chocolate Topped Apple Cake image

The slighty crispy, chocolate chip topping on this cake is the best part! It makes a great dessert, snack cake or coffee cake. You can use either miniature or regular chocolate chips; the miniature just tend to cover the cake better, but I usually use the regular, and never had a complaint yet! I would also suggest letting the cake sit overnight. The flavors mellow, and it's even better!

Categories     dessert

Time 2h15m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 box chocolate cake mix, plus additional ingredients for making the cake
1 store-bought 8-inch apple pie
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate chips
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon dark rum
Kosher salt
1 cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • For the chocolate apple pie cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Use the butter to grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch cake pan or springform pan. Cut out a circle of parchment paper to fit the pan and place it on the bottom.
  • In a large bowl, prepare the cake batter as instructed on the box. Pour 1 cup of the batter into the cake pan and spread it out. Add the apple pie on top of the cake batter, then pour the rest of the cake batter over the top and around the sides. Spread it to make sure there are no air pockets.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted in the center and around the edges comes out clean, 50 to 55 minutes. Remove to a rack to cool slightly. When cool enough to handle, turn the cake out onto the rack, peel off the parchment paper and allow to cool completely.
  • For the ganache: Pour the chocolate chips into a medium bowl. In a small pot on medium heat, add the heavy cream, rum and a pinch of salt and whisk until warm. Pour over the bowl of chips and allow to sit and soak in for 2 minutes. Whisk to melt the chocolate completely.
  • Place the cake on a serving platter, pour the ganache in the center and spread gently outward over the edges. Sprinkle with the pecans and serve.

Tips for Making Chocolate-Topped Apple Cake

- **Choose the Right Apples:** Use apples that hold their shape well when baked, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn. - **Slice Apples Evenly:** To ensure even cooking, slice the apples into uniform pieces. - **Use Fresh Lemon Juice:** Fresh lemon juice brightens the flavor of the apples and helps prevent them from browning. - **Don't Overmix the Batter:** Overmixing can result in a tough cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined. - **Bake the Cake until a Toothpick Inserted in the Center Comes Out Clean:** This indicates that the cake is fully baked. - **Let the Cake Cool Completely Before Frosting:** This will help prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion

This chocolate-topped apple cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and flavorful apple cake base, topped with a rich and decadent chocolate ganache, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert to make, give this chocolate-topped apple cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
