APPLE SHEET CAKE WITH CINNAMON CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
This lightly spiced apple cake comes together in no time at all, and a few swoops of fluffy cinnamon cream cheese frosting dress it up for dessert. As written, this recipe yields a modest amount of frosting, so frosting lovers may want to double the recipe. Make sure to use fresh cinnamon for this recipe (and all of your fall baking) to get the best results.

Steps:
- Prepare the cake: Heat oven to 350 degrees and set a rack in the center. Butter and flour a 9-by-13-inch glass or light colored metal baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the light brown sugar and eggs until pale and foamy. Add the applesauce, oil, spices and salt. Whisk to combine.
- Add the 2 cups flour, baking powder and baking soda, and whisk until well combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and firmly tap the pan on a countertop a few times to release air bubbles. Bake the cake until golden and puffed, and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool the cake in the pan on a rack.
- When the cake is cool, make the frosting: Add the cream cheese, butter and cinnamon to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium-high until smooth, stopping the mixer occasionally to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl. Turn the speed to low, and slowly add the confectioners' sugar. Mix until the sugar is moistened, then turn the speed up to medium-high and whip until smooth and fluffy.
- Spread the frosting over the cooled cake and serve. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days.

HARVEST CAKE WITH CIDER-CINNAMON CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
This is an almost healthy cake that has loads of veggies (carrots, parsnip, zucchini), some whole wheat flour, no oil, and is still deliciously moist and sweet. Kids will eat this without complaint! You can also make little cupcakes with these. (If you want to make the original version, replace the applesauce and buttermilk with 1/2 cup oil and cook a little longer.) The original recipe is from the "Edible Seattle" magazine (Oct. 2008).

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray or butter a 9" x 9" square pan, line with wax paper, and spray or butter the paper. Set aside.
- Whisk the flours, soda, salt, and spices together in a medium-sized bowl. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and sugars until very well blended. Add the vanilla, buttermilk, and applesauce and whisk until completely combined. Using a spoon, stir in the flour mixture, then fold in the grated vegetables and fruit, stirring until completely coated with batter.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake on the middle rack for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the cake tests clean with a wooden toothpick. Let cool for 15 minutes, then invert the cake onto a cooling rack. Remove paper, and invert again onto a serving plate. Cool at least 1 hour more.
- Meanwhile, make the frosting: In the work bowl of a food processor fitted with the paddle attachment, whip the butter and cream cheese together on medium speed until light and smooth, about 3 minutes. With the machine on low, add the sugar, a little at a time, then the cider and cinnamon. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, increase speed to high, and whip for 2 minutes.
- Spread half the frosting on the cake and reserve the other half for another use, or split the cake in half horizontally, fill the center with a thin layer of frosting, then frost the tops and sides of the cake.

Yield Makes 18 cupcakes
Number Of Ingredients 13
Steps:
- Make the cupcakes:
- In a large saucepan boil the cider until it is reduced to about 1 1/2 cups and let it cool. In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat together the shortening and the sugar until the mixture is fluffy and beat in the eggs, 1 at a time. Into the bowl sift together the flour, the cloves, the cinnamon, the baking soda, and a pinch of salt, stir in the reduced cider, and combine the mixture well. Divide the batter among 18 paper-lined 1/2-cup muffin tins and bake the cupcakes in the middle of a preheated 375°F. oven for 25 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. Transfer the cupcakes to a rack, let them cool in the tins, and remove them from the tins.
- Make the icing:
- In a saucepan boil the cider until it is reduced to about 1/4 cup and let it cool. In a bowl with an electric mixer beat together the cream cheese, the confectioners' sugar, the reduced cider, and a pinch of salt until the icing is smooth.

APPLE CIDER CAKE WITH CINNAMON CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
Steps:
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or in a large mixing bowl with a handheld mixer, beat together the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon until smooth and creamy, 4 to 5 minutes.
Tips:
- Use a good quality apple cider. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the cake. Look for a cider that is made from fresh apples and has a deep amber color.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
- Use a cream cheese frosting that is not too sweet. This will allow the flavor of the apples to shine through.
- Decorate the cake with apple slices, cinnamon sticks, or chopped nuts. This will add a festive touch.
