6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter
1/3 cup buttermilk

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Mix together the softened butter with 2 tablespoons of the flour to make a paste. In a 10-inch Bundt pan, paint on the flour and butter paste with a pastry brush until the pan is well coated.

  • For the glaze: Combine the sugar, butter, buttermilk and baking soda in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil the mixture until it thickens slightly and begins to turn a light brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • Using a toothpick, punch 15 to 20 holes in the top of the cake and pour the glaze over the cake. Let the cake set and cool before serving. Store the cake in an airtight cake carrier in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

SUPER MOIST FRESH APPLE CAKE



Super Moist Fresh Apple Cake image

This is one of those cakes that, well, the longer it sets, the better it gets. Oh, don't get me wrong, it is just as delicious warm and fresh out of the oven. The added bonus to this lovely cake is that instead of drying out, it gets more moist as the days pass on, if it lasts that long...

Time 1h5m

Yield 1 Cake

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 eggs
1 1/2 cups oil
2 cups sugar
3 cups flour, sifted
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup pecans or 1 cup walnuts, chopped
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 Granny Smith apples, about 3 1/2 apples (1 shredded, the others chopped fine)
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup milk

Steps:

  • Cream together the eggs, oil and sugar.
  • In a separate bowl, sift the flour, salt and baking soda.
  • Combine all.
  • Now add your nuts, vanilla and apples.
  • Note~this batter is VERY stiff, don't worry, it's suppose to be that way. When the apples cook they add plenty of moisture to the cake to make it moist. Plus, your going to add more moisture when your glaze soaks inches.
  • Pour into a greased and floured 9 X 13 cake pan. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center of the cake.
  • In a sauce pan, combine your glaze ingredients and boil for a few minutes. Set aside.
  • When cake is done, puncture the top of cake with a fork, quite a bit. Pour on your glaze.

Tips:

  • Use a combination of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples for a tart and sweet flavor balance.
  • Peel and slice the apples thinly and evenly so they cook evenly.
  • Don't overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
