Categories     Dessert

Time 1h50m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tart apples, peeled, halved, cored, and sliced about 1/8 inch thick (Granny Smith)
1/2 cup golden raisin
2 tablespoons dark rum
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
3 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons milk
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons dark rum

Steps:

  • Line bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper; butter parchment paper and sides of pan.
  • Set a rack in the middle of the oven; preheat oven to 350°.
  • Combine all the filling ingredients in a bowl (glass or stainless); let stand while you prepare the batter.
  • In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt; mix well and set aside.
  • In the bowl of a heavy-duty mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar on medium speed for 5 minutes, until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, beating until smooth after each addition.
  • Beat in vanilla; using a rubber spatula, fold in half the flour mixture.
  • Drain the apples in a colander set over a bowl; add the milk to any rum that drains into the bowl and stir the liquids into the batter, then fold in the remaining flour mixture.
  • Spread half the cake batter evenly in the prepared pan; scatter with the sliced apple mixture.
  • Scrape remaining batter onto the filling and smooth out.
  • Slide a foil-lined cookie sheet onto the rack below the middle one to catch any drips.
  • Bake for 55-65 minutes or until cake is risen, firm, and deep golden and the apples are cooked through and tender.
  • Let cake cool in pan for 15 minutes, then loosen the cake by running a sharp paring knife around the inside of the pan, scraping the knife against the pan, not the cake.
  • Remove the sides and slide the cake off the base to a rack to finish cooling.
  • When the cake has cooled completely, invert the cake onto a plate, remove the paper, and invert the cake onto the rack again so it is right side up.
  • Make the glaze: stir together the powdered sugar and rum in a small saucepan; mix well.
  • Place over medium heat until warm and fluid.
  • Drizzle half the glaze over the top of the cake in a series of parallel lines.
  • Rewarm the glaze if necessary and drizzle another series of lines on a diagonal to the first ones.
  • Wait until the glaze dries, then slide the cake onto a platter.
  • Serve with ice cream or whipped cream; this cake is best served on the day it is made.

APPLE RUM RAISIN CAKE (GLUTEN-FREE, LOW-GI)



Apple Rum Raisin Cake (Gluten-Free, Low-GI) image

I used a gugelhupf pan here, but you can just use a round 7-inch cake pan. If you'd like to lower the glycemic index, you can omit raisins and replace coconut sugar with erythritol or xylitol. This cake is pretty moist and does crumble a little when you slice it, so please don't make the batter too loose by adding too much applesauce. This cake is good with ice cream (vanilla, rum raisin, salted caramel, dulce de leche, etc.). Fore more healthy, gluten-free recipes, please visit my blog, www.innerharmonynutrition.com.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use dark rum instead of light rum.
  • Soak the raisins in rum for at least 30 minutes before adding them to the cake batter. This will help to plump them up and give them a more intense flavor.
  • If you don't have any rum on hand, you can substitute vanilla extract.
  • Be sure to use a sharp knife to peel and core the apples. This will help to prevent the apples from browning.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the apples by hand.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it.

Conclusion:

This rum raisin apple cake is a delicious and moist cake that is perfect for any occasion.
