Yield Makes 9 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 24

For caramelized apples
8 Gala apples (3 1/2 pounds)
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
For cake
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1 large egg
1/2 cup dark amber or Grade B maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla
For cream
1 1/4 cups chilled heavy cream
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons sugar
Special Equipment
an 8-inch square nonstick cake pan (2 inches deep)

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly butter and flour cake pan, knocking out excess flour.
  • Make caramelized apples:
  • Peel and core apples, then cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges.
  • Spread softened butter in an even layer over bottom of a 12-inch heavy skillet and sprinkle with brown sugar. Add apple wedges and cook over moderate heat, without stirring, until sugar is melted and apples start to give off liquid, about 10 minutes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until apples are just tender and juices become syrupy, about 30 minutes more.
  • Pour syrup from skillet into a small heatproof bowl, then sauté apples, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and very tender, about 30 minutes more. Return syrup to apples and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.
  • Make cake while apples cook:
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices in a bowl.
  • Beat together butter and brown sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until pale and fluffy. Beat in egg until combined. Add maple syrup, sour cream, and vanilla and beat until combined well. Reduce speed to low and add flour mixture, then mix until just incorporated.
  • Spread batter in cake pan and bake until cake is golden brown and a wooden pick or skewer inserted in center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool in pan on a rack 10 minutes.
  • Make cream just before serving:
  • Beat cream with sour cream and sugar using cleaned beaters at high speed until it just holds soft peaks.
  • To serve:
  • Run a thin knife around edge of pan, then invert cake onto a plate and cut into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature, topped with warm apple mixture and cream.

GINGERBREAD CAKE WITH BROWN SUGAR SAUCE



Gingerbread Cake With Brown Sugar Sauce image

A delightful discovery I made in my Company's Coming 'Lunches' cookbook. The original recipe includes a lemon sauce, but we prefer brown sugar sauce with a generous dollop of whipped cream rather. Or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Mmm, and the smell... **Update Aug '09: Forget brown sugar sauce! Make a double recipe as a sheet cake (bake for only 20 minutes @ 325) with a double recipe of Recipe#127144! I don't know why I haven't updated this sooner -- I've been making it this way for at least the last 2 years already!!

Reverend Brown's Spice Cake With Soft Caramel Sauce image

This recipe, delicious in fall and winter, comes from a cookbook published in North Carolina in the 1870s. This decadent dessert is not for dieters!

Provided by D. Todd Miller

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h25m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup butter
2 cups brown sugar
3 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup golden raisin (optional)
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1/4 cup butter
1 cup heavy cream
1/8 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Set oven rack to center position and preheat oven to 350.
  • Coat a 9-inch springform pan with baking spray. A regular 9-inch round cake pan will do.
  • Cut a parchment paper liner to fit the bottom of the pan. Coat liner with baking spray, and dust entire pan with flour. Be sure to shake off extra flour.
  • Sift together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and cloves.
  • Cream butter and sugar in a medium bowl with an electric mixer. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each. Add sifted dry ingredients alternately with buttermilk and stir after each addition.
  • Pour mixture into pan and bake 55-60 minutes, or until a tester inserted into the cake comes out clean.
  • While the cake is baking, prepare the soft caramel sauce. Combine sugar, water, and corn syrup in a heavy saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring with a wooden spoon.
  • Dip a brush in water and wash down insides of the pan. Reduce heat to medium high. DO NOT STIR. Continue boiling until mixture turns golden brown, NOT dark brown, about 6 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and add butter, stirring slowly until melted. Add cream and stir again. Cream may make the sauce form up. If the sugar mixture doesn't want to mix with the cream, put the pan on medium heat and stir with wooden spoon until smooth, about 1 minute. Add salt. Pour into a glass bowl and set aside. (You can make the sauce ahead and store it in a glass container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.).
  • When cake is done, remove it from pan and place on a cooling rack. When cool, pour warm Soft Caramel Sauce over the cake and smooth top and sides. Sprinkle top with golden raisins if desired.
