1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (or cake flour)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup butter (, melted)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8x8'' baking dish.

Number Of Ingredients 17

CAKE:
2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
4 large eggs
1 3/4 cups sugar
2 teaspoons grated orange peel
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
FROSTING:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
2 to 3 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and flour two 9-inch cake pans. Sift first 4 ingredients into small bowl. Stir milk and butter in small saucepan over low heat just until butter melts; set aside.

Add flour mixture; beat just until blended. Add warm milk mixture; beat just until blended. Divide batter between prepared pans. Bake cakes until tester inserted into center comes out clean and cakes begin to pull away from sides of pans, about 24 minutes. Cool cakes in pans on racks 20 minutes. Cut around pan sides and turn cakes out onto racks. Turn cakes right side up. For frosting, mix the butter and cream cheese together with an electric mixer until very smooth. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure even mixing. Add the vanilla extract and cinnamon and mix. Slowly add the powdered sugar. Keep adding until you get to desired sweetness. Spread one cup of frosting onto first layer. Top with second layer. Smooth the rest of the frosting onto the top and sides using your preferred technique.

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.)

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h10m

Yield 16 cake squares

Number Of Ingredients 22

cooking spray (with flour or butter, for the pan)
2 large carrots, grated (1 1/2 cups)
1 large parsnip, grated (1 cup)
1 medium zucchini, cored and grated (1 1/4 cups)
1 tart apple, grated (1 cup)
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
3 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup buttermilk or 1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup mashed bananas or 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
1/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
8 ounces low-fat cream cheese or 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons apple cider
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

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.

Categories     cakes, dessert

Time 45m

Yield 12 servings (one 9-by-13-inch cake)

Number Of Ingredients 17

Unsalted butter, for greasing the pan
2 cups/255 grams all-purpose flour, plus more for preparing the pan
3/4 cup/165 grams light brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 cups/480 milliliters unsweetened applesauce
3/4 cup/180 milliliters neutral oil, such as canola or grapeseed
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
8 ounces/230 grams cream cheese, at room temperature
1/4 cup/65 grams unsalted butter (1/2 stick), at room temperature
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 cup/100 grams confectioners' sugar

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.

Tips:

  • For a smooth and lump-free batter, make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender cake.
  • Gradually add the eggs to the batter, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together before adding them to the batter. This will help to ensure that the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • For a richer frosting, use full-fat cream cheese.
  • For a creamier frosting, beat the cream cheese and butter together until light and fluffy before adding the powdered sugar.
  • Add a splash of vanilla extract or almond extract to the frosting for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

This cinnamon cake with cinnamon cream cheese frosting is a delicious and decadent treat that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, with a tender crumb, while the frosting is smooth and creamy, with a delightful cinnamon flavor. With a few simple tips and tricks, you can easily make this cake at home and impress your friends and family.
