Provided by Lora Brody

Categories     Cake     Fruit     Dessert     Bake     Apple     Walnut     Spice     Fall

Yield Makes one 10-inch bundt-style cake; 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 28

What you'll need:
10-inch (12-cup capacity) bundt-style pan
baking sheet for toasting walnuts
sharp, heavy knife for chopping walnuts
mesh sieve
fork
hand-held electric mixer
cake tester
wire rack
mixing spoon
For preparing the pan:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
For the cake:
3 1/3 cups cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/4 teaspoons ground allspice
1 1/4 teaspoons ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
1 2/3 cups packed dark brown sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups unsweetened applesauce
1 1/2 cup walnuts, toasted and coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Baking time: 55 minutes
  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350°. with a rack in the center of the oven. Coat the sides and center tube of the pan with the butter. Toss in the flour and shake the pan to coat the tube surface and sides. Knock out the excess flour. Set aside.
  • 2. Place a mesh sieve over a medium mixing bowl and add the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Shake the contents into the bowl and set aside.
  • 3. Break the eggs into a large mixing bowl. Stir them briefly with a fork to break them up slightly, then add the dark brown sugar. With the mixer on high speed, beat the eggs with the sugar until the mixture is very thick, about 6 minutes. Move the beaters around the bowl and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula several times while mixing. Reduce the mixer speed to medium and beat in the oil and vanilla. Beat until the mixture is smooth, about 2 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the flour mixture alternately with the applesauce, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Fold in the walnuts with a rubber spatula. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a rubber spatula.
  • 4. Bake for 55 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes, then invert the cake onto the rack. Remove the pan and let the cake cool completely.
  • 5. The baked cake can be stored at room temperature, wrapped in plastic wrap, for up to 2 days, or refrigerated for up to 1 week. It may also be frozen for up to 3 months. Wrap the cooled cake securely in plastic wrap, then place it in a freezer-strength recloseable jumbo-size plastic bag. Label the bag with a waterproof marker and freeze. Defrost the cake, in its wrapping, overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature for 3 to 4 hours.

APPLESAUCE SPICE CAKE



Applesauce Spice Cake image

This recipe came from a box of Duncan Hines cake mix, but I've added some vanilla and extra spices to make it memorable! Being from Duncan Hines means to use a cake mix without pudding. Also, I like to start with a smooth, bland commercial applesauce and sweeten it with brown sugar, then jazz it up with some extra cinnamon and cardamom - whatever spices suit your fancy - so the applesauce tastes really good to start with. A smooth applesauce allows the cake to remain light. If you don't have cardamom, try some five-spice powder. For frosting, use a cream cheese frosting by itself or sprinkled with chopped nuts. For a diffferent flavor, add some dulce de leche (caramel sauce) to your cream cheese frosting along with a little maple flavoring. This is one of my favorite cakes!

  • In a large bowl, stir in 1 tsp. of baking soda to applesauce and let it fizz up a bit. (1 minute)
  • Then add in the eggs, margarine and brown sugar. Blend together.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, and spices to the mix and blend in.
  • (The recipe says that if it seems a little dry, add 1/2 cup of milk. I have never needed to do this, but if it looks thicker than the usual texture of a cake batter, you can add a little, or perhaps a little more applesauce.)
  • put into a greased 8x8 cake pan and bake at 350 degrees - for about 45 minutes, or until a fork comes out clean when testing the center of the cake.
  • This cake is lovely with a simple lemon icing drizzled on it - some icing sugar, with a bit of lemon juice mixed to give it the consistency you want,....

Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 c all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/8 tsp kosher salt
1/2 c (1 stick) unsalted butter at room temperature
1/2 c sugar
1/2 c firmly packed dark brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 c unsweetened applesauce
1 tsp vanilla
confectioners sugar for serving

Steps:

  • 1. 1.Place a 15-inch piece of parchment paper in the bowl of a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker, letting the excess come up the sides. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt.
  • 2. 2.Using an electric mixer, beat the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then the applesauce and vanilla (the mixture will look curdled). Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the flour mixture, mixing until just incorporated.
  • 3. 3.Transfer the batter to the prepared slow cooker and cook, covered, until set and a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean, 2 to 2 1/2 hours on high.
  • 4. 4.Holding the parchment, transfer the cake to a rack and let cool for at least 15 minutes. Dust with the confectioners' sugar and serve with ice cream, if desired.
