RACHAEL RAY APPLE CAKE

This is called "My Sister Maria's Easy Apple Cake". It is a quick and yummy cake for dessert. Good warm and topped with ice cream. It bakes in a 9x9 pan, so you do not have a ton of cake. Just enough for a nice weekday dessert. **Please note the size of the cake mix. It is a little box, I use the Jiffy cake mix. I have made this cake many times to take with a meal I have made for a friend that has been sick or had a baby.

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (9 ounce) box yellow cake mix (Jiffy brand or similar)
1 egg
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon butter
1 large mcintosh apple
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup sugar
1 pint ice cream, flavor of your choice (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 by 9-inch square cake pan (can use a disposable foil cake pan) with 1 tbs butter.
  • Prepare cake mix as described on cake box, with 1/2 cup water and the egg.
  • Peel and dice apple into small bits. Sprinkle apples with cinnamon and sugar and mix well.
  • Pour cake batter into prepared cake pan. Spread apples on top of cake batter, evenly covering the entire top of the cake. ( I tend to put a little more towards the edges so that when the cake rises in the oven the apples don't fall to the center of the cake.).
  • Bake 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Best if served warm with ice cream. Very good at room temperature though.

Tips:

  • Prep Your Ingredients: Before you begin, make sure all your ingredients are measured and ready to go. This will help ensure a smooth and efficient baking process.
  • Mise en Place: Keep your workspace organized by setting up all your ingredients and tools before you start baking. This will help you stay focused and avoid any scrambling.
  • Don't Overmix: When mixing the batter, avoid overmixing as this can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Proper Pan Preparation: Grease and flour your cake pans to prevent the cake from sticking. You can also use parchment paper for easy removal.
  • Bake Evenly: To ensure even baking, rotate the cake pans halfway through the baking time. This will help the cake bake evenly on all sides.
  • Let it Cool: Before frosting the cake, allow it to cool completely. This will help the frosting adhere better and prevent it from melting.
  • Frosting Consistency: The frosting should be thick enough to spread easily but not too stiff. If it's too thick, add a little milk; if it's too thin, add some more powdered sugar.
  • Decorate Creatively: Have fun decorating the cake with your favorite toppings. You can use sliced apples, caramel sauce, chopped nuts, or sprinkles to add a personal touch.

Conclusion:

This delicious caramel apple layer cake is a delightful treat that combines the flavors of sweet apples, creamy caramel, and fluffy cake. With its moist texture, layers of caramel frosting, and apple filling, it's sure to be a hit at any gathering.
