DUTCH APPLE LOAF CAKE

There's plenty of recipes for this cake listed, but I think this one sounds a little different. Found it online at Taste of Home. It looks fairly simple and baked in a loaf pan. It would be a great take along for potlucks or just an easy snack for the family. Now that our apple trees are full and ripe, it's a great time to try this out. As an update, finally got around to trying this and loved it. Simple, with a nice presentation and very good. I did add a cup of chopped pecans as we love nuts and everyone enjoyed it. Don't make the mistake I did though - be aware that the divided sugar puts 3 Tablespoons in the apples and then the 1 cup goes in the batter.

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 loaf, 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups tart apples, such as Granny Smith, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick about 3 medium size apples
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup sugar
2/3 cup butter, softened
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • In large bowl, combine apples, 3 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon; let stand for 1 hour.
  • In large mixing bowl, cream butter and remaining sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each.
  • Add vanilla.
  • Combine flour and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture and beat until smooth.
  • Pour into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  • Push apple slices vertically into batter, placing them close together.
  • Bake at 325°F for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
  • Cool for 10 minutes in pan before removing to a wire rack.
  • Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, crisp apples. This will give your loaf cake the best flavor and texture.
  • Peel and core your apples before grating them. This will help to prevent the cake from becoming too dense.
  • Grate your apples using the large holes of a box grater. This will create small, even pieces that will distribute evenly throughout the cake.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake in a loaf pan that has been greased and floured. This will help to prevent the cake from sticking to the pan.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

This apple loaf cake is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and flavorful crumb and sweet and tangy apple filling, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
