Date-Nut Apple Cake image

WE have enjoyed this recipe for many years. It was given to me by a college friend. It looks like a standard fruit cake, but the rich, moist texture of apples, dates, raisins and nuts makes it a very satisfying dessert. A slice of this cake, topped with whipped cream, whipped topping or a big scoop of ice cream will have your guests coming back for more.

SHREDDED APPLE-DATE CAKE



Shredded Apple-Date Cake image

This is a widely moderated recipe from Cabbagetown Cafe cookbook, so different that I can call it my own. It's still got all the flavor and tenderness you could desire. Warning: you will need a food chopper or processor not to work hard to make this cake, but I think it's worth a lot of effort. :)

Categories     Breakfast

Time 1h5m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 large apples (approx 2.5 lbs)
1 cup dried dates
1 cup pecans
1/2 cup vegan butter or 1/2 cup palm oil shortening
1/2 cup agave nectar or 1/2 cup honey
1/3 cup lemon juice
4 cups whole grain spelt flour (or whole wheat flour)
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 tablespoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons turbinado sugar

Steps:

  • Lightly oil a 10" round deep pan, and set the oven rack to middle of the oven position.
  • In a food processor bowl, or by hand, chop the dates and pecans together until they look almost like crumbs.
  • Put the chopped mix into mixing bowl big enough to hold all ingredients, probably a 3 quart or 4 quart size is best.
  • Shred the apples, and add them with the lemon juice, softened butter sub and sweetener to the bowl, mixing well and coating the apples with lemon juice.
  • Sift the flour with salt and baking soda, and add to the bowl, mix very well.
  • Spoon mixture into prepared 10" round pan and top with cinnamon and sugar, blended together.
  • Bake at 350° for 45 minutes, covering the top lightly at the 30 minute mark with a foil or parchment paper round if it browns more than you like.
  • Test for doneness with a long pick in the middle, if still slightly gooey, turn off the oven and rest another 15 minutes.
  • Let cool 15 minutes before turning out or cutting---it will crumble if cut too soon, but a serrated knife minimizes that.

Tips:

  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it.
  • If you don't have cream cheese frosting, you can use your favorite frosting recipe.
  • Garnish the cake with additional shredded apples, dates, or nuts, if desired.
