Time 3h25m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
3 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
3 large eggs
1/2 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 to 2 1/2 cups peeled, cored and finely diced sweet apples
1 cup walnuts, finely chopped
3/4 cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter
1/3 cup buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Mix together the softened butter with 2 tablespoons of the flour to make a paste. In a 10-inch Bundt pan, paint on the flour and butter paste with a pastry brush until the pan is well coated.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat the sugar, oil and eggs until smooth. Add the orange juice and vanilla extract and mix well. In another bowl, sift together the baking soda, cinnamon, salt and remaining 3 cups flour. Add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture and continue to beat well. Stir in the apples and walnuts.
  • Pour the batter into the pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Turn the cake out onto a cake plate.
  • For the glaze: Combine the sugar, butter, buttermilk and baking soda in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil the mixture until it thickens slightly and begins to turn a light brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • Using a toothpick, punch 15 to 20 holes in the top of the cake and pour the glaze over the cake. Let the cake set and cool before serving. Store the cake in an airtight cake carrier in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

FRESH-FIG CAKE WITH HONEY CREAM-CHEESE FROSTING



Fresh-Fig Cake With Honey Cream-Cheese Frosting image

This dense and deeply figgy cake, adapted from Eli's Table in Manhattan, gets its complex flavor from a combination of fresh figs and fig jam, seasoned generously with cinnamon, cardamom and ginger. It's then filled and topped with cream cheese frosting that is sweetened with a combination of confectioners' sugar for lightness and honey for richness. Over all, it's a bit like carrot cake, except softer and sweeter. You can make the cake two to three days ahead and store it, well wrapped or under a cake dome, in the refrigerator. It gets even moister as it sits. If you can't get fresh figs, chopped peeled apple works nicely as a substitute.

Time 1h30m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

Butter, for greasing the pan
3 cups/384 grams all-purpose flour, more for flouring the pan
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 1/2 cups/300 grams granulated sugar
4 large eggs
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons buttermilk or plain yogurt
3/4 cup/116 grams chopped fresh figs (3 to 4 figs)
3/4 cup/225 grams fig jam
3/4 cup/85 grams chopped pecans or walnuts
12 tablespoons/180 grams unsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks), softened
2 cups/16 ounces/454 grams cream cheese, softened
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
3 tablespoons/60 grams honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 2/3 cups/450 grams confectioners' sugar
1 cup sliced fresh figs (about 5 figs)

Steps:

  • Make the cake: Heat oven to 325 degrees. Butter and flour a 10-inch cake pan (or two 9-inch pans), and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, baking soda and salt.
  • Using an electric mixer, whisk to combine sugar and eggs until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Whisk in oil and buttermilk or yogurt to combine.
  • Using a rubber spatula, gently fold dry ingredients into egg mixture just until combined. Fold in figs, jam and pecans.
  • Scrape into prepared cake pan and bake until browned and springy to the touch, about 65 to 75 minutes (or 35 to 45 minutes for the 9-inch pans). If the top gets too dark before the cake is finished baking, cover it with foil. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.
  • While cake is cooling, make the frosting: Using an electric mixer, beat butter, cream cheese and salt on low speed until smooth. Beat in honey and vanilla, then beat in confectioners' sugar.
  • To assemble the cake, remove cooled cake from pan and peel off parchment paper. Slice cake in half horizontally, so you end up with 2 layers. (You don't need to do this for the 9-inch cakes.) Spread half the frosting between the layers, sandwiching it. Dollop remaining frosting in a thick layer on top of the cake, leaving a 1-inch border on the top of the cake, the sides, bare. Chill until ready to serve. Just before serving, top with sliced figs.

HONEY-GLAZED GERMAN APPLE CAKE RECIPE BY TASTY



Honey-Glazed German Apple Cake Recipe by Tasty image

This delicious butter cake is a slightly sweeter and more festive spin on a German tea-time classic. Making this cake a day ahead of serving allows the apples to infuse the cake, and it means there's one less thing to do the day of. Pair with ice cream or fresh unsweetened whipped cream!

Provided by Betsy Carter

Categories     Desserts

Time 1h5m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ½ sticks unsalted butter, softened, plus more for greasing
1 ½ cups all purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 cup sugar
1 ½ teaspoons lemon zest
2 large eggs
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
2 sweet tart apples, such as honeycrips
1 tablespoon honey
1 ½ teaspoons water

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 335°F (170°C). Grease a 9-inch (22 cm) tart pan (with a removable base) with butter, then dust with flour, turning to coat evenly and tapping out the excess.
  • In a large bowl, cream the sugar, butter, and lemon zest together with an electric hand mixer until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes.
  • Make a well in the center of the creamed sugar and butter. Add the eggs, vanilla, and salt to the well. Beat to combine.
  • Sift in the flour and baking powder, then beat just to incorporate. The batter will be thick and sticky.
  • Using a rubber spatula, transfer the batter to the prepared tart pan and spread in an even layer, starting at the center and working toward the outer edges.
  • Cut lobes off of the apples, then discard the cores.
  • Stick a skewer crosswise through the flat side of each apple wedge, just deep enough so the skewer is not exposed; this will prevent the knife from cutting all the way through the apple. Set the apples flat-side down and thinly slice lengthwise, stopping your knife when you hit the skewer. Remove the skewers.
  • Arrange the apples in a circle pattern over the batter and gently push in to submerge slightly.
  • Bake the cake for about 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out almost completely clean. The cake will brown around the edges before it's done.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the honey and water.
  • Brush the honey mixture over the top of the warm cake.
  • The cake can be served immediately, but it is even better the next day, as the apples will infuse the cake with their flavor when left to sit covered at room temperature overnight. Remove the tart ring, then slice and serve.
  • Enjoy!

FRESH APPLE CAKE WITH BROWN SUGAR GLAZE RECIPE - (4.1/5)



Fresh Apple Cake with Brown Sugar Glaze Recipe - (4.1/5) image

Provided by XrayKim

Number Of Ingredients 16

APPLE CAKE:
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 eggs
1/2 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups finely chopped apples
1/2 cup pecans or walnuts, chopped (optional)
BROWN SUGAR GLAZE:
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
3 Tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 Tablespoon heavy cream

Steps:

  • CAKE: Heat the oven to 350° F. Grease an 8-inch pan and set aside. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.Stir with a whisk to mix everything together. In a large bowl, mix the eggs with a hand mixer til light in color and foamy. Add the oil and vanilla and beat well. Stir in the flour mixture with a spoon and continue stirring the batter til the flour disappears. Add the apples and nuts (if using) and stir to mix them into the batter. Scrape batter into prepared pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Place the hot cake on a wire cake. While it's still hot, prepare the glaze. GLAZE: Combine all the ingredients into a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the mixture comes to a gentle boil. Cook for 3-5 minutes. Spoon the hot glaze over the still hot-from-the-oven cake. Let the glazed cake cool completely before serving straight from the pan.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use a variety of apples that will hold their shape when baked, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will result in a tough cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
  • Make the honey glaze while the cake is baking: This will give the glaze time to cool slightly before you pour it over the cake.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving: This will allow the glaze to set and the flavors to meld.

Conclusion:

This fresh apple cake with honey glaze is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, and the honey glaze adds a touch of sweetness and shine. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
