OATMEAL CAKE



Oatmeal Cake image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 1h18m

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup steel-cut oats
1 1/4 cups boiling water
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup oat bran
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup apple sauce
1 pound cream cheese
1 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup honey
1/2 to 3/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, place the oats and the water and simmer 15 minutes to soften slightly. Allow to cool to room temperature.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter a 8-inch square cake pan.
  • In a mixer fitted with a whip attachment, cream the butter until smooth. Add granulated sugar and mix until smooth and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix just until combined. Add the cooked oats and mix just until combined.
  • In another bowl, mix the flour, oat bran, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Working in 3 batches, add the dry ingredients to the butter-oat mixture, alternating with the applesauce mixing just until combined after each addition. Pour into the prepared pan. Bake until a tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out dry and almost clean (a few crumbs are fine), 40 to 50 minutes. Let cool completely. Turn cake out onto a square serving platter. Place strips of paper under the cake around all the edges.
  • To make the frosting, in a mixing bowl with a whip attachment cream the cream cheese on medium to high speed until light and fluffy. Turn the mixer to low and mix in the powdered sugar and honey. Frost the cake on the sides with a thin layer of frosting then use the remaining to cover the top and swirl it decoratively. Using your hands, press the toasted chopped nuts onto the side of the cake to coat it. Remove the paper strips before serving. Cut into 2-inch square pieces.
  • Notes about the recipe: This is a delicious hearty and healthful cake. The texture added by the cooked steel cut oats makes you thing there are nuts inside. I made it to help me use up ends of jars of oat bran in the freezer and steel cut outs in the cereal drawer after the hot cereal breakfast season was over for the year.

AUTUMN MAPLE PECAN LAYER CAKE WITH PENUCHE FUDGE FROSTING



Autumn Maple Pecan Layer Cake With Penuche Fudge Frosting image

This wonderful cake recipe is an adapted one from the Magnolia Bakery Cookbook. The penuche fudge frosting is an old Southern recipe. Makes a very attractive presentation, especially when the cake plate is adorned with beautiful autumn leaves. This cake freezes beautifully, just allow the cake to defrost completely before filling and frosting the layers. I recommend Canadian or Vermont maple syrup and Georgia or Texas pecans, but you can use any pure maple syrup and could use walnuts, although we prefer pecans in this recipe.

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h

Yield 1 Maple Pecan Cake, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

3/4 cup butter, softened
1/3 cup sugar
3 large eggs
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
1 1/2 cups maple syrup
3 1/3 cups self-rising flour
3/4 cup hot water
1/2 cup butter
1 cup soft brown sugar, firmly packed
1 teaspoon instant coffee powder
1 tablespoon maple syrup
2 tablespoons evaporated milk
1 tablespoon maple extract, to taste
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 -3 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup pecans, chopped (for the filling)
9 pecan halves, for decoration

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Butter 2 8-inch round cake pans, and line them with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually add the maple syrup, stirring until smooth. Alternately add the flour and the hot water, a little at a time, stirring gently until combined and smooth. Stir in the chopped walnuts.
  • Divide the batter between the two prepared pans, and bake in a 350F degree preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  • Let the cakes cool in their pans on a rack for 8 to 10 minutes, then carefully unmold them and allow them to cool completely on the rack.
  • At this point, you can individually wrap the completely cooled cakes in cling wrap, place in an airtight container, and refrigerate or freeze them until needed. Allow the cakes to defrost completely before filling and frosting them.
  • Make the frosting shortly before you want to frost the cake, as it will get harder with time.
  • For the frosting/filling, melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring all the while; continue to boil and stir for about 1 minute, until sugar is dissolved and mixture is thickened (watch carefully). Off the heat, and whisk in the coffee powder, the 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 2 tablespoons milk, and the maple and vanilla extracts, stirring well to combine. Allow to cool slightly, then gradually add the powdered sugar, beating after each addition, until smooth and glossy and of the desired spreadable consistency; beat in a little milk, a tablespoon at a time, if it gets too thick.
  • Place one of the cakes onto a cake plate or pedestal, and spoon some of the frosting/filling over the top, spreading evenly with a flat spatula; sprinkle with chopped pecans. Place the other cake on top and evenly spread the remaining frosting over the top of the cake. Decorate the top of the cake with the pecan halves. Just before serving, you may adorn the plate with autumn leaves as desired.
  • This cake is best eaten the day it's frosted.
  • Makes about 8-10 slices.

APPLESAUCE CAKE WITH PENUCHE FROSTING



Applesauce Cake with Penuche Frosting image

Categories     Cake     Mixer     Dessert     Bake     Kid-Friendly     Raisin     Apple     Oat     Fall     Cinnamon     Gourmet     Small Plates

Number Of Ingredients 22

For the cake:
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 3/4 cups pink applesauce or bottled applesauce
For pink applesauce:
3 pounds McIntosh apples (about 8), cored and quartered
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
3/4 cup raisins, chopped and tossed in all-purpose flour to coat them
For the frosting:
3 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter
3/4 cup milk

Steps:

  • Make the cake:
  • In a large bowl with an electric mixer cream the butter, add the sugars, a little at a time, and beat the mixture until it is light and fluffy. Beat in the applesauce and the egg. Into the butter mixture sift together the flour, the baking soda, the cinnamon, the nutmeg, and the cloves, stir the mixture until it is combined, and add the vanilla, the oats, and the coated raisins. Stir the batter until it is combined well, divide it between 2 well-buttered 8-inch round cake pans, and bake the cake layers in the middle of a preheated 350°F. oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. Turn the layers out onto racks and let them cool completely.
  • Make the frosting:
  • In a heavy saucepan combine the brown sugar, the butter, the milk, and a pinch of salt, bring the mixture to a boil over moderate heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved, and cook it, undisturbed, until it registers 234°F. on a candy thermometer. Let the mixture cool to room temperature and whisk it until it is thickened, lightened in color, and beginning to lose its sheen.
  • Working quickly, before the frosting begins to harden and crystallize, frost the top of 1 of the cake layers, top it with the other layer, and frost the top and side of the cake. (If the frosting becomes too hard to spread, reheat it over low heat, stirring, until it is of spreading consistency and let it cool.)
  • Make pink applesauce:
  • In a large heavy saucepan combine the apples, 1/2 cup water, the lemon juice, and the sugar, bring the liquid to a boil, and simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 25 minutes, or until the apples are very tender. Force the mixture through a food mill fitted with the fine disk into a bowl. Serve the applesauce warm or chilled. Makes about 4 cups.
