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.

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h5m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 3/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened (no subs!)
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature
2 large eggs (room temperature)
1 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup sugar (use white or light brown)
3 teaspoons cinnamon
3 large apples, peeled and chopped

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:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the ingredients blend together more easily and create a smooth batter.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will incorporate air into the batter and make the cake light and airy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough.
  • Pour the batter into a greased and floured baking pan: This will help prevent the cake from sticking to the pan.
  • Bake the cake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: Check the cake regularly to prevent overbaking.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting set properly.
