This recipe is from LCBO's Food & Drink Fall 2010 magazine. I had the cake at a dinner party last night and it was just delectable! Perfect for Fall. Use tart apples like Northern Spy, Empire or Spartans. The cake is best when served while still warm.

Steps:
- Set oven to 350 degrees (set oven rack to second-lowest position).
- Prepare a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a bowl using an electric mixer beat the butter with 1-3/4 cups sugar, softened cream cheese and vanilla until smooth and well blended (about 3-4 minutes).
- Add in eggs; mix well until completely blended.
- In a small bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to the creamed mixture just until blended.
- In a small bowl combine 1/3 cup white or light brown sugar with 3 teaspoons cinnamon.
- In another bowl mix together the chopped apples with 3 tablespoons of the cinnamon mixture, then stir the apple mixture into the batter.
- Transfer the batter into prepared baking dish or springform baking pan.
- Sprinkle the top of the batter with remaining cinnamon/sugar mixture.
- Bake for about 50-60 minutes (for springform pan) or until the cake test done.
- Cool cake completely in the pan, then remove to a wire rack.
Tips:
- Soften Butter and Cream Cheese to Room Temperature: This ensures smooth and even mixing, resulting in a velvety cake texture.
- Measure Ingredients Accurately: Use measuring cups and spoons for precise measurements to achieve the perfect balance of flavors and texture.
- Do Not Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can result in a tough and dense cake. Mix only until all ingredients are well combined.
- Use Fresh Apples: Fresh apples provide the best flavor and texture to the cake. Choose firm and crisp apples that hold their shape during baking.
- Peel and Dice Apples Evenly: Uniformly diced apples ensure even cooking and distribution throughout the cake.
- Toss Apples with Cinnamon and Sugar: Coating the apples in cinnamon and sugar enhances their flavor and creates a caramelized coating during baking.
- Use a Bundt Pan: A Bundt pan allows for even heat distribution, resulting in a beautifully browned and evenly cooked cake.
- Grease and Flour the Bundt Pan: This prevents the cake from sticking to the pan and ensures easy removal after baking.
- Bake the Cake at the Right Temperature: Follow the recipe's recommended baking temperature and time to achieve the perfect doneness.
- Check for Doneness with a Toothpick: Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake; it should come out clean when the cake is done.
- Let the Cake Cool Completely before Glazing: Allow the cake to cool completely to room temperature before applying the glaze to prevent it from melting and running off.
- Make the Glaze While the Cake Cools: This allows the glaze to thicken slightly, making it easier to drizzle over the cake.
