APPLE BUTTERSCOTCH CAKE



Apple Butterscotch Cake image

I was looking through the "The Best of Country Cooking 2007"and I came across this recipe.It was ssubmitted to the above cookbook by Nancy Zimmermean from Cape May Court House,New Jersey.I decided to try it,and it wasn' t too bad :).I have found out that the amount of vegetable oil that was listed in the ingredients made the cake just a little too oily for me.I would suggest cutting the oil to 1/4 cup.Since my SO doesn't care for pecans I left those out.And I also found out that 45 minutes is too long to bake, so 35 minutes might be better.So if you try this recipe,please consider the changes that I have made.Submitted to "ZAAR" on April 28,2008.

From October 2006 Nick Jr. Family magazine. Yummy, moist snack cake with all kinds of wonderful nutritious ingredients. I found this sweet enough on its own, but you could sprinkle some powdered sugar on top to make it look pretty. Great for lunch boxes!

APPLE-SPICE BUNDT CAKE WITH BUTTERSCOTCH GLAZE RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Apple-Spice Bundt Cake with Butterscotch Glaze Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by lianbl88

Number Of Ingredients 12

CAKE:
1 box Betty Crocker™ SuperMoist™ spice cake mix
1 cup milk
3 ounces cream cheese, softened
3 eggs
1 large Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored and chopped (2-cups)
GLAZE:
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
3 tablespoons butterscotch topping
2 tablespoons milk
Dried apple slices, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325°F. Generously spray 10- or 12-cup fluted tube cake pan. In large bowl, beat all Cake ingredients except apples with electric mixer on low speed 1 minute, scraping bowl constantly. Increase speed to medium; beat 2 minutes. Stir in apples. Pour into pan. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes; turn upside down onto cooling rack or heatproof serving plate, and remove pan. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Place cake on serving plate. In medium bowl, beat Butterscotch Glaze ingredients with electric mixer on medium speed about 1 minute or until smooth and well combined. Drizzle on top of cake. Garnish with dried apple slices.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use Room Temperature Ingredients: When a recipe calls for room temperature ingredients, it's important to follow that instruction. Room temperature ingredients mix together more easily and evenly, resulting in a better-textured cake.
  • Cream the Butter and Sugar Together: This step is essential for creating a light and fluffy cake. Creaming the butter and sugar together until they are light and fluffy incorporates air into the mixture, which helps the cake rise.
  • Add the Eggs One at a Time: When adding the eggs to the batter, do so one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Do Not Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the Cake at the Right Temperature: The temperature of your oven is critical for baking a successful cake. Make sure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before baking the cake.
  • Let the Cake Cool Completely: Before frosting or decorating the cake, let it cool completely. This will help prevent the frosting from melting and the cake from falling apart.

Conclusion:

With its moist and flavorful layers, rich butterscotch sauce, and creamy apple filling, this Apple Butterscotch Cake is a true showstopper. It's perfect for any special occasion, or simply as a sweet treat to enjoy with friends and family. So next time you're looking for a dessert that will impress, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
