Apple Cake recipe needed

SahmIam — Mon, 20 Nov 2017 19:28:15 GMT

I noticed in a few threads on other forums that Apple Cake is being prepared by many for Thanksgiving. I'm looking for one that is NOT a snack-cake style (made in a 9 inch square or 9x13 pan) but a bit fancier, lol. Does anyone have one to share that is made as a layer cake or a bundt cake? TIA!!

You cannot go wrong on King Arthur recipes; there are other apple cake recipes that might satisfy more.....I use their products and their bread recipes and they are excellent.

I don't have access to my cookbook right now, but I found a German Apple Cake recipe that looks like the one I use. Normally, I bake it in a 9 x 13 pan and serve without icing. I have found, one of the "secrets" is to bake it the day BEFORE you need it. It is much better after it sits for about a day because it becomes more moist. The batter will be VERY stiff. Looks like a "mistake", but it's not. I have already made it for a special occasion (wedding) in round cake pans and iced it with a cream cheese icing. Delicious. If you bake it in smaller pans, you will probably need to shorten your baking time a little.

GERMAN APPLE CAKE

2 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. vanilla
4 cups fresh apples, peeled and thinly sliced
2 cups sifted all purpose flour
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup vegetable oil
1/2 to 1 cup walnuts, chopped

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Grease a 9x13-inch pan and dust with flour; shake out any excess.

Combine all ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon. Batter will be very stiff. Transfer batter to prepared pan and spread evenly using a wet spatula.

Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean.

Thank you everyone; I will go look up those recipes!

@Pooky1 I appreciate you offering to do that; chocolate is not wanted by the family for Thanksgiving so I'll need to pass..... though it sounds great to ME!

Hi, @SahmIam!

When I saw your request, I immediately thought of an apple cake recipe that was shared by a poster, @Britbrit13 awhile back. 2013!

I found her post, but unfortunately, since it's an old one, none of the replies are there anymore, but as I recall, there'd been a lot of them!

She RAVED about that cake! That post had over 1,00 views!

Here, & I've also copied her post, below:

Apple cake by Smitten Kitchen, I made this and it was beyond delicious.. We ate the whole thing in 1 day...IT was just so good!!!!!!!!!!!I thought id share,

Mom’s Apple Cake

6 apples, Mom uses McIntosh apples, I used jonagold apples
1 tablespoon cinnamon
5 tablespoons sugar

2 3/4 cups flour, sifted
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup vegetable oil I used half applesuce and half oil..
2 cups sugar
1/4 cup orange juice, I used apple, cause I didn't have orange...
2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
4 eggs
1 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a tube pan.

Peel, core and chop apples into chunks. Toss with cinnamon and sugar and set aside.

Stir together flour, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl.

In a separate bowl, whisk together oil, orange juice, sugar and vanilla.

Mix wet ingredients into the dry ones, then add eggs, one at a time.

Scrape down the bowl to ensure all ingredients are incorporated.

Pour half of batter into prepared pan. Spread half of apples over it.

Pour the remaining batter over the apples and arrange the remaining apples on top.

Bake for about 1 1/2 hours, or until a tester comes out clean.

@sabatini

In reading Britbrit's recipe as given in the Smitten Kitchen website, the following comments from the site may be of benefit to those contemplating making it:

Cool completely before running knife between cake and pan, and unmolding onto a platter.

Do ahead: This cake is awesome on the first day but absolutely glorious and pudding-like on the days that follow, so feel free to get an early start on it. I keep it at room temperature covered with foil.

* Tip: The apples love to hide uncooked pockets of batter, especially near the top. Make sure your testing skewer or toothpick goes not just all the way down to the bottom, but does a shallow dip below the top layer of apples to make sure it comes out batter-free. Should your cake be browning too fast, before the center is baked through, cover it with foil for all but the last few minutes in the oven.

I enjoyed reading the entire SK post for "someone' s" (LOL) 'mom' s apple cake'.

Like this recipe - thanks for posting!

Plan on making in an 8" X 8" old corning bakeware.

How would you adjust the cooking time?

Thanks again

barefootwillow — Wed, 22 Nov 2017 01:50:34 GMT

If you make it in one 8 x 8 pan, that will make it quite abit thicker. Not sure on the timing, but thinking it would be close to the 60 minutes, maybe a little longer? I don't know how deep your corningware dish is, if it would hold it? When I made the smaller cake, I used two pans, either 8 or 9 inch round pans. The color of the cake is light brown when baked and the top has kind of a dry-ish look to it, but that is normal. If you bake it the day before, it should be nice and moist. I hope that helps

@namaste000 I responded to your question, but it doesn't look like it is referenced to you. I am kinda new to this

Re: Apple Cake recipe needed

namaste000 — Thu, 23 Nov 2017 17:24:01 GMT

@barefootwillow thanks for both of your replies!

Alas I won't be baking it for awhile. I was going to bake it today (thanksgiving day) for our family get together tomorrow. Turned the oven on and...no oven It's a really old stove-have replaced a burner once, but no heat in the stove!

Was upset but then thankful that I wasn't hosting thanksgiving this year!

Apple Cake Sharlotka

4.8 from 5 reviews

Prep time: 15 mins

Cook time: 55 mins

Total time: 1 hour 10 mins

Meet your new favorite apple cake! This country apple cake (a.k.a. Sharlotka) is soft, moist and unbelievably easy with just 6 ingredients - perfect for last minute company!

Author: Natasha of NatashasKitchen.com

Skill Level: Easy

Serving: 9" round single layer cake

Ingredients

6 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar (210 grams)
1⅓ cups all-purpose flour (165 grams)
½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
1½ lbs (3 med/large) granny smith apples
Confectioners a.k.a. powdered sugar to dust, optional

Instructions

Preheat Oven to 350˚F. Line bottom of un-greased 9" round springform pan with a circle of parchment paper
Add 6 eggs to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment, and beat on high speed for 1 minute until foamy. With the mixer on, gradually add 1 cup sugar and beating on high for 8 to 10 minutes or until thick and fluffy ribbon forms.*
Meanwhile, peel, core, quarter and slice apples into ¼" thick pieces.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1⅓ cups flour with ½ tsp baking powder. Sift flour mixture into the beaten egg batter in 3 increments, folding with a spatula between each addition. Scrape from bottom of bowl to ensure pockets of flour aren't missed. Stop mixing when you no longer see streaks of flour (don't over-mix). Quickly fold in 1 tsp vanilla extract just until incorporated.
Fold in sliced apples, reserving 1 cup for the top. Fold just until combined into batter then pour batter into prepared springform pan. Spread batter evenly with a spatula (do not tap the pan) and scatter remaining apple evenly over the top. Bake at 350˚F for 50-55 minutes. Top will be golden brown. Remove from oven and let rest in pan 15 min. Slide a thin spatula or knife around edges of pan to loosen and transfer cake to a cake platter to cool. Once at room temperature, sprinkle top with powdered sugar and serve.

Notes*When you pull up on the whisk, the ribbon of batter should sit for a few seconds on the surface before incorporating back into the batter.
Pro Tip: As with any egg-based cake, be sure you beat the eggs and sugar sufficiently. If using a high powered electric hand mixer, add 2 min to beating time in step 2. Also, keep cake away from outdoor draft.
