MARVELOUS JEWISH APPLE CAKE



Marvelous Jewish Apple Cake image

This cake is extremely delicious. I got this recipe from cooking class and this by far the best food we ever made in that class. Everyone loves it. I'm not a huge fan of apple cake but I really don't mind the apples in this recipe. I sometimes make this recipe without the apples and it tastes great. You have to try it, otherwise you are definitely missing out. *Helpful hints for making the cake* -Sweeter apples = sweeter cake -I usually use 3 apples because 4 is a lot for me -Applesauce is a substitute for oil. I use 1/2 cup oil and 1/2 cups applesauce. Depends how less fattening you want it to be. -I would core and peel apples after I am done the batter so they won't brown. Or you could put lemon juice on them. -Do not put cinnamon sugar mixture on top of your last batter when poured in pan. It will burn since it is on the top.

Tips:

  • Don't peel the apples: Leaving the peel on the apples adds color and nutrients to the cake. Plus, it saves time and effort!
  • Use fresh lemon juice: Fresh lemon juice brightens the flavor of the cake and prevents the apples from browning.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This ensures that the cake is cooked through.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving: This allows the flavors to meld and the cake to set.
