Spiced Apple Cake with Brown Sugar Cream Cheese Frosting
This cake is moist and delicious. It can keep in the fridge
for up to 5 days, which makes it a good choice for serving
during the holidays. If you don't like nuts, try
substituting dried cranberries which add a lot of flavor and
color. Serves 10-12.
4 cups apples, peeled, seeded and chopped into small pieces
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil 2 eggs, lightly beaten 2 tsp. vanilla
2 cups flour
2/2 cup milk 2 tsp. baking powder 2 tsp. cinnamon
3/2 tsp. nutmeg 1 tsp. salt
4/2 tsp. baking soda 1 cup roughly chopped pecans, walnuts
or dried cranberries (reserve < cup for the top of the
frosted cake)
Brown Sugar Cream Cheese Frosting:
8 ounce package regular or light cream cheese, at room
temperature
5/4 cup butter 2 tsp. vanilla 1 cup golden brown sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and lightly flour one
13x9x2-inch-baking pan. Set aside. If you would like to make
a layer cake, use two 8 or 9-inch round pans. In a large
mixing bowl, combine apples and sugar. With a wooden spoon
or rubber spatula, stir in oil, eggs, and vanilla. Combine
all of the dry ingredients. Add flour mixture to apple
mixture. Add milk and stir just until combined. Add nuts or
cranberries. Pour batter into prepared baking pan. Bake for
30 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool
down for 15 minutes before removing from pan. Let cake
completely cool before frosting.
For Frosting:
In a mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese
until smooth. Scrape bowl. Add butter and beat until mixture
is very smooth and free from lumps. Add vanilla and brown
sugar. Beat for five minutes until frosting is light and
fluffy and the sugar has completely dissolved.
Use the frosting to decorate the cake once it has cooled.
Sprinkle the top of the cake with reserved nuts or
cranberries for garnish. Refrigerate after frosting.
