Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts or pecans
1/2 to 3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
3 large eggs
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup vegetable oil or mild olive oil
3/4 cup matzo cake meal*
5 cups (24 to 34 oz) apples, peeled, halved, and cut into 1/4-inch-thick (6-mm) slices, preferably Golden Delicious or Crispin (Mutzu)
1/3 cup raisins ((optional))

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and lightly oil an 8-inch square glass baking dish.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the walnuts, sugar, and cinnamon.
  • In a large bowl with a stand mixer or handheld mixer on medium speed, beat the eggs until well combined. Beat in the sugar, about 2 tablespoons at a time, mixing until the mixture is thick and foamy. Beat in the oil, adding it in a steady stream. Scrape down the bowl with a rubber spatula. With the spatula, stir in the matzo cake meal, blending well. The mixture will be VERY thick.
  • Spread half the cake mixture in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle about half the topping mixture evenly over the batter. Arrange half the apples on the batter, making layers if you need. Sprinkle with the raisins. Scrape the remaining batter over the apples, spreading it out to cover the apples. Arrange the remaining apples on the batter and sprinkle evenly with the remaining topping mixture.
  • Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the sides of the cake pull away very slightly from the baking dish and the topping has begun to caramelize. (A cake tester is not reliable. It will not come out clean due to the moist richness of this cake.)
  • Let the cake cool in the baking dish for several hours until room temperature before cutting it into serving portions. This cake is yet another Yiddish food that improves with age. Keep the cake in its dish, covered tightly with plastic, and the next day the topping will have become a moist, candy-like coating.

MOIST PASSOVER APPLE CAKE



Moist Passover Apple Cake image

Unbelievably moist cake. Most Passover desserts are very dry but this cake is incredibly moist.

Provided by Rhonda

Categories     Desserts     Fruit Dessert Recipes     Apple Dessert Recipes

Time 1h15m

Yield 9

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons vegetable shortening, room temperature
3 eggs, separated
½ cup vegetable oil
¼ cup orange juice
1 cup white sugar
1 cup matzo cake meal
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup white sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored, and quartered

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with vegetable shortening.
  • Beat egg whites in a metal, glass, or ceramic bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites should form a sharp peak that holds its shape. Set aside.
  • Place the egg yolks, oil, and orange juice into a mixing bowl; beat with an electric mixer until creamy and thick, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1 cup of sugar, mixing well, then lightly stir in the matzo cake meal and salt. Use a rubber spatula or wire whisk to fold about 1/3 of the beaten egg whites into the matzo meal mixture. Gently run the spatula through the center of the mixture, then around the sides of the bowl, repeating until fully incorporated. Add the remaining egg whites, folding until just incorporated.
  • Mix together 3/4 cup of sugar with cinnamon in a bowl. Spread half the batter into the prepared baking pan; distribute the apple quarters evenly over the batter. Sprinkle the apple pieces with about 1/2 cup of the sugar-cinnamon mixture, spread the remaining batter over the apples; sprinkle the remaining sugar-cinnamon mixture over the top of the cake.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the cake is golden brown, about 45 minutes. Cut into squares while still warm.

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...

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 salt
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.
  • When cake is done, puncture the top of cake with a fork, quite a bit. Pour on your glaze.

Tips:

  • To make the cake moist, use a combination of applesauce, honey, and oil.
  • Use a light touch when mixing the batter to avoid overdeveloping the gluten, which can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it.
  • For a richer flavor, use dark honey instead of light honey.
  • To make the cake gluten-free, use gluten-free flour instead of all-purpose flour.
  • For a vegan cake, use a flax egg instead of a regular egg.

Conclusion:

This moist Passover apple cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist crumb, sweet apples, and delicate frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
