APPLE CARDAMOM CAKE



Apple Cardamom Cake image

Ready for a fresh fall dessert that's rooted in tradition? Pick this recipe for a simple scratch cake that might remind you of something Grandma used to make. Similar to a pound cake but with fragrant, sweet cardamom cutting through its rich buttery crumb. Sliced apples strewn across the top melt into the cake just slightly during baking for a pretty look that only needs a dusting of powdered sugar to be complete. The end result is an apple dessert that's not too sweet but incredibly flavorful. It's as perfect with a steaming cup of coffee at breakfast time as it is mounded with whipped cream after dinner. And since it's ready to serve in just over an hour, it's totally weeknight friendly!

APPLE PRUNE CARDAMOM CAKE



Apple Prune Cardamom Cake image

This prune apple cardamom cake by the chef Genevieve Gergis was inspired by sticky toffee pudding, a dish that her husband and business partner, the chef Ori Menashe, loves. It's on the menu at their restaurant Bavel in Los Angeles, where it's served hot from the oven with date toffee sauce and whipped cream. You can serve this cake version with your favorite toffee or caramel sauce and ice cream. It makes a lovely dessert after a Rosh Hashana supper or as part of a spread to break the Yom Kippur fast.

Time 1h45m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup/170 grams lightly packed chopped prunes
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons/270 milliliters good apple cider
1 cup/170 grams grated apple (Pink Lady or other tart variety, peeled, grated and firmly packed)
7 tablespoons/100 grams unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for buttering the pan
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons/145 grams all-purpose flour
1/3 cup/40 grams einkorn flour (or use whole wheat pastry flour)
2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
2 1/2 teaspoons cardamom
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup/92 grams packed muscovado sugar, or 1/2 cup/110 grams light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
Whipped cream, crème fraîche or ice cream for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Put the prunes in a medium bowl and pour in the apple cider. Let soak at room temperature for at least 1 hour or, if longer, refrigerate up to overnight.
  • In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, simmer the soaked prunes and cider for 15 to 20 minutes until the prunes are soft and mostly broken down. Set aside and let cool to room temperature, then stir in the grated apples.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees and generously butter a 9-inch cake pan. In a large bowl, thoroughly whisk together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cardamom and cinnamon.
  • In a stand mixer, using the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 4 to 5 minutes. Scrape down the bowl, then add the vanilla extract and mix until combined. Scrape down the bowl once again, and add the eggs one at a time, scraping down in between each addition. Alternate adding half the prune mixture, then half the flour mixture, to the stand mixer bowl, starting with wet and ending with dry, scraping down between each addition. Take care not to overmix.
  • Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out with moist crumbs and no wet batter. Let cool on a rack for 10 minutes, then invert onto a plate. Invert again onto a serving plate and serve warm with whipped cream, crème fraîche or ice cream, if you'd like.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect moist texture, use a combination of all-purpose flour and almond meal. Almond meal adds richness and moisture, while still allowing the cake to rise properly.
  • Use ripe apples for a sweeter, more flavorful cake. Granny Smith apples are a good choice, as they hold their shape well when baked.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will result in a dry cake.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
