Categories     Dessert

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 cups (284g) all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp sea salt or table salt
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cloves
4 cups (468g) peeled, cored and 1/4-inch diced apples*
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 cup (210g) granulated sugar
1/4 cup (58g) packed light-brown sugar
1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1/2 cup chopped pecans, (for topping (optional))
1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, diced into 1 Tbsp pieces
1 cup (220g) packed light-brown sugar
1/4 cup milk

Steps:

  • For the apple cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 13 by 8-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.

  • Let cool about 5 minutes then cut into squares and serve warm topping each slice with sauce and optional pecans.
  • For the sauce: In a medium saucepan combine butter, brown sugar, milk and salt (you can add a little extra if you like more of a salted caramel/toffee flavor).
  • Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Allow to boil 1 1/2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Let sauce cool slightly. Serve warm over warm cake.

OLD-FASHIONED APPLE CAKE WITH BROWN SUGAR FROSTING FROM KAF



Old-Fashioned Apple Cake With Brown Sugar Frosting from KAF image

This came from a King Arthur Flour site and says: "This cake is an old, old favorite of ours. It's a cake where the whole is definitely more than the sum of the parts. The moist, semi-chunky cake, spread with the frosting equivalent of brown sugar fudge, is perfect served with a cup of coffee or, better still, a glass of ice-cold milk." Not the prettiest cake I've made, but OMG - the flavor is all over it, pretty sure to make my families favorite list
