Time 1h50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups white sugar
1 ½ cups vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
2 medium Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and chopped
1 cup chopped walnuts
½ cup butter or margarine
2 teaspoons milk
½ cup brown sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9 inch Bundt pan.
  • In a large bowl, beat the sugar, oil, vanilla and eggs with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; stir into the batter just until blended. Fold in the apples and walnuts using a spoon. Pour into the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted into the crown or the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool for about 20 minutes then invert on to a wire rack.
  • Make the glaze by heating the butter, milk and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar, then remove from the heat. Drizzle over the warm cake. I like to place a sheet of aluminum foil under the cooling rack to catch the drips for easy clean up.

APPLE POUND CAKE



Apple Pound Cake image

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     dessert

Time 2h15m

Yield 16 to 20 slices

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 jumbo-sized eggs, separated
1 cup buttermilk
4 sticks butter, plus 1 tablespoon, for pan
3 cups cake flour, plus 2 tablespoons, for pan
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored and diced into 1/8-inch pieces
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 1/2 cups sugar, divided
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon extract
3 teaspoons baking powder
Special equipment: 10-inch Bundt cake pan

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Let the eggs, milk and butter come to room temperature on the counter before beginning. (Butter goes on the counter last.)
  • Butter the Bundt pan with 1 tablespoon of butter, then add 2 tablespoons of flour and shake and tap to coat the interior of the pan; set aside. Put the diced apples in a bowl with the cinnamon and lemon juice. In a large bowl or stand mixer add the butter and 2 cups of sugar and beat until smooth. Add the egg yolks, 1 at a time, and blend to completely incorporate before adding the next. The mixture will become very light in color. Add the buttermilk and the extracts and mix to combine. Stir in 3 cups of flour along with the baking powder and stir until incorporated.
  • In a separate clean dry bowl, whisk egg whites until foamy, then add the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar and whisk until shiny and soft peaks form when removing the whisk from the whites. Gently fold this into the cake batter. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Arrange the apples in the center of the ring all the way around, being sure they don't touch the outer or inner edge of the pan. Pour in the remaining batter and bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Remove the cake from the oven and cool completely. Put a large plate or cake plate on top of the pan, then holding both together, flip them so that the curved bottom of the Bundt pan is on the top and the plate is resting on a flat surface. Slowly remove the pan from the cake by lifting it straight up. Slice and serve.

Categories     dessert

Time 2h10m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Nonstick cooking spray or unsalted butter, for greasing the pan
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for the pan
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 medium apples (I used a mix of green and Pink Lady apples)
1 1/2 cups vegetable or canola oil
2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 large eggs
One 11-ounce package caramels, preferably Kraft Caramels
1/4 cup whole milk

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Generously grease and flour a 9- or 10-inch Bundt pan.
  • Mix together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside. Peel, core and dice 3 cups apples. Set aside.
  • Blend the oil, sugars and vanilla in a bowl with a handheld electric mixer or in a stand mixer until well mixed. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the dry ingredients until just incorporated. The batter will be very thick. Fold in the apple pieces. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Let cool for 20 to 30 minutes, then remove the cake from the pan to a cooling rack.
  • For the caramel sauce: Meanwhile, heat the caramels and milk in a saucepan on medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the caramels are completely melted and the sauce is smooth, about 2 minutes. Let cool for 1 to 2 minutes, then drizzle over the cake just before serving.

Time 1h55m

Yield 1 10" fluted cake

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup granny smith apple, peeled, cored, and diced (about 1 large)
1 cup walnuts, chopped
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided
2 cups butter, softened
2 cups sugar
6 large eggs, room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided
1 (3 1/2 ounce) package pudding mix, instant butterscotch flavored
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cheddar cheese soup
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup butter
2 cups dark brown sugar, firmly packed
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F degrees. Spray 15 cup fluted pan with nonstick baking spray with flour.
  • In a medium bowl, combine apples, walnuts and 1/4 cup flour.
  • In a large bowl, beat 2 cups butter and sugar at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Reduce speed to low. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Increase speed to high, and add 1 teaspoon vanilla, beat for 2 to 3 minutes, or until mixture is fluffy. Reduce speed to low, and add pudding mix and soup; beat for 1 minute. Increase speed to medium and beat for 1 minute longer.
  • In a medium bowl, sift remaining 3 cups flour and baking powder together. Gradually add to butter mixture, and beat until mixture is well combined, about 2 to 3 minutes. Fold in apple mixture.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan. Drop pan lightly on counter to release any air bubbles. Bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes. Remove from pan, and cool completely on a wire rack. Place wire rack over a large piece of aluminum foil.
  • In a small saucepan, melt 1/2 cup butter over medium heat. Stir in dark brown sugar and remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla. Add cream, stirring constantly until combined. Pour mixture over cooled cake.

Tips:

  • Use Granny Smith apples for a tart flavor. You can also use other tart apples, such as Braeburn or Honeycrisp.
  • Be sure to peel and core the apples before you chop them. This will help to prevent the apples from browning.
  • If you don't have a bundt pan, you can use a 9x13 inch baking pan. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before you glaze it. This will help the glaze to set properly.

Conclusion:

Taffy apple pound cake is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its moist and flavorful crumb, sweet and tangy glaze, and colorful apple topping, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
