APPLE SPICE CINNAMON SWIRL COFFEE CAKE



Apple Spice Cinnamon Swirl Coffee Cake image

If you love cinnamon and apples, then this coffee cake is for you. It smells heavenly while baking. Starting with a spiced cake mix and apple muffin mix makes this easy to make and creates a yummy flavor combination. It's full of cinnamon and apples in every bite. This is a dense cake-like most coffee cakes, but very moist too....

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 21

FOR CAKE:
1 box spice cake mix
1 pkg Marie Callander's apple muffin mix or any apple muffin mix (6 oz size)
3 eggs (I used Egg Beaters)
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp cinnamon
1 c yogurt (I used the one with cream on the top)
1/3 c oil
1 Tbsp instant coffee
2 fresh chopped apples (peeled and cored)
1 c chopped nuts (I used pecan, cause it's all I had on hand)
1 c almond milk
FOR CINNAMON SWIRL
1/2 c melted butter
2 Tbsp sugar
1/2 c light brown sugar
1 1/2 Tbsp cinnamon
FOR ICING (OPTIONAL)
3 Tbsp powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1-2 Tbsp almond milk

Steps:

  • 1. For Cake: Sift together all the dry ingredients several times - cake and muffin mix, instant coffee, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
  • 2. In stand mixer, using paddle, starting on slow speed blend dry ingredients with eggs (one at a time).
  • 3. Add yogurt, milk, oil. Blend on medium speed for 2-3 minutes.
  • 4. Add apples and nuts. Blend a few more minutes until all ingredients are incorporated scraping the sides often.
  • 5. CINNAMON SWIRL (best to do this after batter has been mixed as it only takes a minute). Melt butter. Add sugars and cinnamon. If mixture is too thick add a few teaspoons of milk until the consistency of gravy.
  • 6. Pour your batters in prepared pans. For this one I used 6 mini loaf pans, filling to about 3/4 full. Test Kitchen Note: We used a 9x13 pan.
  • 7. Dollop cinnamon swirl onto the batter 2 tablespoons at a time.
  • 8. With a knife, gently swirl the cinnamon through being careful not to touch the bottom. NOTE: I learned the hard way, it sticks to the bottom and cake is difficult to get out.
  • 9. BAKE @ 350 for how however many minutes, depending on size pan. For the mini loaf pans, it took 30-33 minutes. It also depends on your oven. Test Kitchen Note: It took 40 minutes for our 9x13 pan.
  • 10. If you want an icing, with a mix whisk 3 tbsp of powdered sugar, 1/2 tsp vanilla and 1-2 tbsp of almond milk.
  • 11. Drizzle or spread over cooled cakes.

Try the beloved fall latte in cake form! The flavor of coffee and pumpkin spice is in every layer--from the crisp streusel topping, to the pumpkin cake itself, and then the surprise little bit of filling in the center.

Tips:

  • Use fresh spices. Freshly ground spices will give your cake the best flavor. If you don't have fresh spices on hand, you can use pre-ground spices, but be sure to use half the amount called for in the recipe.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help the cake to rise evenly.
  • Don't overbake the cake. Overbaking the cake will make it dry. Check the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
