RACHAEL RAY APPLE CAKE

This is called "My Sister Maria's Easy Apple Cake". It is a quick and yummy cake for dessert. Good warm and topped with ice cream. It bakes in a 9x9 pan, so you do not have a ton of cake. Just enough for a nice weekday dessert. **Please note the size of the cake mix. It is a little box, I use the Jiffy cake mix. I have made this cake many times to take with a meal I have made for a friend that has been sick or had a baby.

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (9 ounce) box yellow cake mix (Jiffy brand or similar)
1 egg
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon butter
1 large mcintosh apple
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup sugar
1 pint ice cream, flavor of your choice (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 by 9-inch square cake pan (can use a disposable foil cake pan) with 1 tbs butter.
  • Prepare cake mix as described on cake box, with 1/2 cup water and the egg.
  • Peel and dice apple into small bits. Sprinkle apples with cinnamon and sugar and mix well.
  • Pour cake batter into prepared cake pan. Spread apples on top of cake batter, evenly covering the entire top of the cake. ( I tend to put a little more towards the edges so that when the cake rises in the oven the apples don't fall to the center of the cake.).
  • Bake 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Best if served warm with ice cream. Very good at room temperature though.

Time 31m

Yield 1 Cake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 1/4 cups flour
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, plus
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups unsalted butter, softened
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
3 large eggs, plus
2 large egg yolks
1/2 cup heavy cream, plus
3 tablespoons heavy cream
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 crisp apples, such as gala, peeled and thinly sliced lengthwise (about 1 pound)
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 cup store-bought caramel sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°. Generously grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. Using an electric mixer, combine the flour, 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, the baking powder and salt. Mix in 2 sticks butter at low speed until the mixture is crumbly.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, 1/2 cup cream, applesauce and vanilla. Mix into the flour-butter mixture at medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute.
  • Divide the batter between the prepared pans. Bake until springy to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of the cake to release the layers, invert onto the rack and let cool completely.
  • In a medium skillet, melt 3 tablespoons butter over medium-low heat. Add the apple slices and remaining 1/3 cup granulated sugar and cook, stirring often, until the apples are tender and the juice is syrupy, about 15 minutes. Stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons cream and simmer for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
  • Meanwhile, using an electric mixer, beat the remaining 2 sticks butter and the confectioners' sugar until light and creamy. With the mixer on low, slowly mix in the caramel sauce.
  • Place 1 cake layer on a cake plate; spread the apple filling evenly on top, then cover with the remaining cake layer. Using an offset spatula or butter knife, cover the top and sides of the cake with the caramel frosting, swirling the top to make a decorative pattern.

Tips:

  • To make the apple cake moist and flavorful, use a combination of granulated sugar and brown sugar.
  • For a richer flavor, use unsalted butter instead of oil.
  • If you don't have a bundt pan, you can use a 9x13 inch baking pan. Just increase the baking time by 10-15 minutes.
  • To make sure the cake is done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before glazing it. This will help the glaze set properly.

Conclusion:

Rachael Ray's apple cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and flavorful crumb, sweet and tangy glaze, and crunchy pecan topping, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert to make, give Rachael Ray's apple cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
