OLD-FASHIONED APPLE CAKE



Old-Fashioned Apple Cake image

Categories     Cake     Fruit     Dessert     Bake     Quick & Easy     Apple     Fall     Spring     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
5 teaspoons cornstarch
2 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, diced, room temperature
4 medium Gala or Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored, cut into 1/3-inch pieces
3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon (packed) golden brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk
2 teaspoons sugar
1 9-inch doily
Powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Butter 9-inch-diameter springform pan with 2 3/4-inch-high sides. Sift first 5 ingredients into large bowl. Rub in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Mix in apples and brown sugar. Whisk eggs and milk together; stir into apple mixture (batter will be thick). Transfer to pan. Sprinkle with sugar.
  • Bake cake until golden and springy to touch, about 35 minutes. Cool slightly on rack. Cut around cake to loosen; remove pan sides. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool. Wrap tightly; store at room temperature.) Place doily atop cake. Sprinkle powdered sugar over; remove doily.

Tips:

  • Use fresh apples: Fresh apples give the cake a more vibrant flavor and texture than apples that have been stored for a long time.
  • Peel and core the apples before slicing them: This will help to ensure that the cake has a uniform texture and that the apples don't brown.
  • Slice the apples thinly: This will help them to cook evenly and will also prevent them from becoming too mushy.
  • Toss the apples with sugar and cinnamon before adding them to the cake batter: This will help to enhance their flavor and will also prevent them from browning.
  • Do not overmix the cake batter: Overmixing can result in a tough cake. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a greased and floured cake pan: This will help to prevent the cake from sticking to the pan.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

This old-fashioned fresh apple cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, with a tender crumb and a sweet and tart apple filling. The frosting is creamy and rich, and it perfectly complements the flavor of the cake. Whether you are looking for a simple dessert to serve at a potluck or a special treat to enjoy at home, this apple cake is sure to please everyone.
