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 a variety of apples. Combining different types of apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn, will give your cake a complex flavor and texture.
  • Peel and core the apples before slicing them. This will make it easier to slice the apples evenly and prevent the skins from toughening up during baking.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at a moderate temperature. A moderate temperature will help the cake to bake evenly without overbrowning.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Paula Deen's Fresh Apple Cake is a delicious and easy-to-make cake that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and flavorful crumb, sweet and tangy apples, and creamy vanilla frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this recipe a try.
