PEAR SPICE BUNDT CAKE WITH WALNUT PRALINE TOPPING



Pear Spice Bundt Cake With Walnut Praline Topping image

Found this tasty adaptation of a circa 1992 Gourmet magazine recipe on www.joythebaker.com , a delightful blog up for an award for Best New Blog of 2009 on www.2009.bloggies.com . Give it a look & see whether you'd give her a vote (I did along with a vote for www.fark.com for the esteemed lifetime achievement award). She's got some tasty recipes for sure. Anyone resurrecting the much maligned American Bundt cake gets a hat tip from me anytime. I plan to make this & halve it immediately after cooling cake but before spooning on topping - will add topping to each half with the best looking one going IMMEDIATELY to dear neighbor's home as I strongly suspect this could become a main meal substitute if allowed to remain in toto in our house, LOL.

Apple, Praline and Cream Cheese Bundt Cake image

Where to begin to describe this deliciousness! This apple cake has all the fall spices and the aroma coming from the kitchen was amazing.

FOR THE CREAM CHEESE FILLING:
8 oz cream cheese
1 egg
1/4 c butter, softened
1/2 c granulated sugar
2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tsp vanilla
FOR THE CAKE:
1 c chopped pecans
1 1/2 lb apples, peeled and chopped (I used galas)
3 c all-purpose flour
1 c granulated sugar
1 c packed brown sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp allspice
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
3 eggs, beaten
3/4 c canola oil

1 tsp vanilla
FOR THE PRALINE FROSTING:
1/2 c packed brown sugar
1/4 c butter
3 Tbsp milk
1 c confectioners' sugar
1 tsp vanilla
additional pecans for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 14-cup bundt pan.
  • 2. Start by toasting your pecans in the oven for 8 - 10 minutes or until fragrant. Be sure to toss half way through cooking time. Set aside when they are done.
  • 3. Prepare filling: Beat butter, cream cheese, and sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in egg, vanilla, and flour and mix until smooth. Set aside.
  • 4. Prepare cake: In the bowl of an electric mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, beat sugars, canola oil, and applesauce. Add in the eggs, one by one. Stir in vanilla.
  • 5. In a separate bowl, combine flour, spices, salt and baking soda.
  • 6. Working in batches, add this to your wet mixture.
  • 7. Remove bowl from mixer and fold in pecans and apples.
  • 8. Baking: Place 2/3 of the batter into the bundt pan. Spoon in the cream cheese mixture and, using a paring knife, swirl around to incorporate evenly. Be sure to leave about an inch border, so that the cream cheese does not leak out while baking.
  • 9. Place the remaining 1/3 of the batter on top.
  • 10. Bake for 60 - 75 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • 11. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  • 12. Frosting the cake: Bring brown sugar, butter, and milk to a boil in a small saucepan, whisking constantly. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Be careful, as mixture will bubble up violently!
  • 13. Gradually whisk in confectioners' sugar. Allow mixture to harden slightly and pour over completely cooled cake. Garnish with additional pecans, if desired.
