Apple Cake, Harvest Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by OralW

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 2/3 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt, preferably fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs, plus 1 large egg yolk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/4 to 2 1/2 cups peeled cored, and diced "cooking" apples (3 to 4 medium apples). May use Cortland, Jonathan, McIntosh, or Fuji or a combination of all
3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Use flour and oil spray to coat the inside of a 9" round baking pan with 2" sides. FOR THE BATTER: 2. Sift the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg on a sheet of wax paper. 3. Place the butter in a bowl of a stand mixer or hand-held electric mixer. Beat on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the cream cheese and beat for 1 to 2 minutes; scrape down the sides of the bowl. On moderately high speed, blend in the sugar in 3 additions, beating for 45 seconds after each addition, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. 4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition for 30 seconds or until just incorporated. Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract, beating. At this point, the batter will look slightly curdled, but it will smooth out after the flour mixture is incorporated. 5. On low speed, beat in the flour mixture in 2 additions, mixing just until the particles of flour are absorbed. The batter will be thick. 6. Use a wooden spoon to stir in the apple chunks. 7. Scrape the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the surface. 8. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until the cake has risen and set. It should pull away slightly from the sides of the pan. The top of the cake will be a medium golden color and will look somewhat bumpy due to the chunks of fruit embedded in the batter. 9. Cool the cake in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Invert the cake onto another cooling rack, lift off the baking pan, then invert again to stand right side up. FOR THE TOPPING: 10. Whisk together the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. While the cake is warm, sprinkle the mixture evenly over the top of the cake. To Serve: use a serrated knife to cut the cake into wedges.
