SUPER MOIST FRESH APPLE CAKE



Super Moist Fresh Apple Cake image

This is one of those cakes that, well, the longer it sets, the better it gets. Oh, don't get me wrong, it is just as delicious warm and fresh out of the oven. The added bonus to this lovely cake is that instead of drying out, it gets more moist as the days pass on, if it lasts that long...

Provided by The Hen Basket

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h5m

Yield 1 Cake

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 eggs
1 1/2 cups oil
2 cups sugar
3 cups flour, sifted

1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup pecans or 1 cup walnuts, chopped
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 Granny Smith apples, about 3 1/2 apples (1 shredded, the others chopped fine)
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup milk

Steps:

  • Cream together the eggs, oil and sugar.
  • In a separate bowl, sift the flour, salt and baking soda.
  • Combine all.
  • Now add your nuts, vanilla and apples.
  • Note~this batter is VERY stiff, don't worry, it's suppose to be that way. When the apples cook they add plenty of moisture to the cake to make it moist. Plus, your going to add more moisture when your glaze soaks inches.
  • Pour into a greased and floured 9 X 13 cake pan. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center of the cake.
  • In a sauce pan, combine your glaze ingredients and boil for a few minutes. Set aside.

UNCLE BOB'S FRESH APPLE CAKE - PAULA DEEN



Uncle Bob's Fresh Apple Cake - Paula Deen image

Wow, is this ever good! This cake needs at least an hour to rest before serving, it's even better the next day, so plan ahead. I do like the glaze, but the cake is great on it's own as well. I have used pecans instead of walnuts with good results. I also sprinkle some lemon juice on the diced apples so they don't brown. Check the cake at 1 hour, mine is done at 75 minutes. Without the glaze, this cake freezes well. Adapted from Food Network, Paula Deen. She rocks!!

Tips:

  • Use fresh apples: Fresh apples provide the best flavor and texture for apple cake. Choose a variety that is firm and tart, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
  • Peel and core the apples: Peeling and coring the apples will help to ensure that the cake has a smooth texture. You can use a paring knife or an apple corer to remove the peel and core.
  • Toss the apples with lemon juice: Tossing the apples with lemon juice will help to prevent them from browning. You can also add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the apples for extra flavor.
  • Use a bundt pan: A bundt pan is a great option for baking apple cake. The fluted sides of the pan will help to create a beautiful cake with a moist and tender crumb.
  • Bake the cake at a moderate temperature: Baking the cake at a moderate temperature will help to prevent the cake from drying out. The ideal temperature for baking apple cake is 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Test the cake for doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is done. If the toothpick comes out with batter or crumbs attached, the cake needs to bake for a few minutes longer.

Conclusion:

Apple cake is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its moist and tender crumb, sweet and tart flavor, and beautiful presentation, apple cake is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
