SWIRL SPICE CAKE



Swirl Spice Cake image

This might look like a relative of coffee cake but don't be fooled. The layer of streusel in this marbled loaf cake gets a complex punch of flavor from a coffee spice blend that includes dried orange peel, cardamom, and fennel seeds.

Categories     Cake     Pecan     Butter     Egg     Sour Cream     Vanilla     Orange Juice     Breakfast     snack     Dessert     Coffee     Bake     Spice

Yield Makes one 8½"x4½" loaf

Number Of Ingredients 20

Streusel
1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
⅓ cup Savory-to-Sweet Coffee Spice Mix
6 Tbsp. (75 g) light brown sugar
3 Tbsp. (24 g) all-purpose flour
1 tsp. kosher salt
4 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
Cake and Assembly
Nonstick cooking oil spray or room-temperature unsalted butter (for pan)
2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
½ tsp. baking powder
¼ tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. kosher salt, plus more
1¼ cups (250 g) granulated sugar
¾ cup (1½ sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
3 large eggs, room temperature
½ cup sour cream, room temperature
2 tsp. vanilla extract
¼ cup (28 g) powdered sugar
1 tsp. (or more) orange juice

Steps:

  • Streusel
  • Whisk pecans, spice mixture, brown sugar, flour, and salt in a small bowl to combine. Drizzle in butter and mix until clumps form. Set aside.
  • Cake and Assembly
  • Preheat an oven to 325°F. Lightly coat an 8½x4½" loaf pan with nonstick spray. Line with parchment paper, leaving overhang on long sides. Press paper into pan, then turn over, so greased side is facing up. Whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, and ½ tsp. salt in a medium bowl to combine.
  • Beat sugar and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment on medium-high speed, scraping down sides of bowl halfway through, until very light and fluffy, 6-8 minutes. Reduce speed to medium. With motor running, add eggs one at a time, beating to incorporate and scraping down sides of bowl after each addition. Reduce speed to low; add half of dry ingredients and mix just to combine. Add sour cream and vanilla and beat to combine. Add remaining dry ingredients and beat until incorporated.
  • Scrape half of batter into prepared pan. Top with streusel (yes, it will look like a lot, but use all of it!), then scrape remaining batter over. Starting at a short side of the pan and working your way to the other short side, drag a butter knife back and forth from one long side to the other through batter to marble streusel; smooth surface.
  • Bake cake until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 80-90 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cake cool in pan 15 minutes. Run a small knife around edges of cake to loosen if needed, then, using parchment paper, lift out of pan onto rack. Peel away parchment. Let cake cool completely.
  • Combine powdered sugar and a pinch of salt in a small bowl, then mix in orange juice, adding up to a teaspoonful more if needed, until you have a thick but pourable icing. Drizzle over cake and let sit until icing is set before serving, about 15 minutes.
  • Do ahead: Cake can be baked 3 days ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.

Categories     dessert

Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus extra for greasing the dish
1 1/4 Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced into 12 pieces
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar, divided
2 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
1/3 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Generously butter a 9-inch glass pie dish and arrange the apples in the dish, cut side down.
  • Combine 1 cup of the granulated sugar and 1/3 cup water in a small saucepan and cook over high heat until it turns a warm amber color, about 360 degrees F on a candy thermometer. Swirl the pan but don't stir. Pour evenly over the apple slices.
  • Meanwhile, cream the 6 tablespoons of butter and the remaining 3/4 cup of granulated sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, until light and fluffy. Lower the speed and beat in the eggs 1 at a time. Add the sour cream, zest, and vanilla and mix until combined. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt and, with the mixer on low speed, add it to the butter mixture. Mix only until combined.
  • Pour the cake batter evenly over the apple slices and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean. Cool for 15 minutes, then invert the cake onto a flat plate. If an apple slice sticks, ease it out and replace it in the design on top of the cake. Serve warm or at room temperature, dusted with confectioners' sugar.

Provided by Our Best Bites

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 22

BATTER
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour, lightly spooned into measuring cups and leveled with a knife
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sour cream
FILLING
1 small baking apple, peeled, cored, and finely chopped (about 1 1/4 cups chopped apple)
1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
GLAZE
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon almond (or vanilla) extract
1-2 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour a 10″ bundt cake pan and set aside.
  • In a large bowl (like the bowl of your stand mixer), combine the butter and sugar and beat with an electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy (about 90 seconds). Add eggs, one at a time, mixing completely after each addition. Add the vanilla and mix to combine.
  • In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add 1/3 of the flour mixture, beating until completely combined. Add 1/2 of the sour cream, mix completely, then add another 1/3 of the flour, mix completely. Add the last of the yogurt, mix completely, then add the final 1/3 of the flour mixture. Mix until combined and set aside.
  • Place the chopped apples in a small mixing bowl. Sprinkle with flour, brown sugar, and spices and toss to coat evenly. Set aside (but not too far aside-you'll need them in just a second.)
  • Pour enough batter into the bottom of the pan to cover about 1″ of the bottom of the pan. Cover this layer with about 1/2 of the apples. Spread enough batter over the apples to completely cover them, then spread the remaining apples over the batter layer. Spread the last of the batter over the apples. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes or until golden and a pick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and allow to cool completely.
  • Invert the cake onto a serving plate. If desired, whisk together the glaze ingredients and drizzle over the cake. Makes 16 servings.
