Categories     dessert

Time 1h1m

Yield 24 cakes

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup chopped dates or whole raisins (dark or golden)
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon each ground cloves and ground allspice
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups peeled apple chunks (from about 3 apples)
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the dates in a bowl and toss them with 2 tablespoons of the flour until lightly coated (this will prevent them from sinking in the cake batter during baking).
  • Beat the eggs and sugar in a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (or using a hand mixer) until fluffy. With the mixer running, slowly pour in the oil. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and vanilla. Mix into the egg mixture. Mix in the apples and nuts, then stir in the dates by hand, distributing them evenly in the batter. Spoon into the muffin tins and bake about 35 minutes, until springy and dry in the center. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack, then turn out.
  • Meanwhile, make the glaze: Stir the maple syrup and sugar together in a bowl. Glaze the cooled cakes by spooning the glaze around the tops of the cakes and letting it drip down the sides.

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your cakes will taste. Look for ripe apples, pure vanilla extract, and good-quality spices.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough, dense cakes. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cakes at the correct temperature: The temperature of your oven is critical for the success of your cakes. Make sure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before baking.
  • Don't overbake the cakes: Overbaking the cakes will make them dry and crumbly. Bake the cakes just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cakes cool completely before frosting: Allow the cakes to cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
