APPLE CARROT CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FILLING & PRALINE ICING



Apple Carrot Cake With Cream Cheese Filling & Praline Icing image

I get recipe requests every time I make this cake. I think the original recipe came from Taste of Home. I have a Kitchenaid mixer with the shredder attachment and use that to shred up the carrot, apple, and even the toasted pecans, but any shredder will do, or you could chop with a good old-fashioned kitchen knife instead! Note: Be sure to both grease AND flour your tube pan as this cake is very moist and needs the flour to help it release from the pan! Enjoy!

3 tablespoons Cognac
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
2 cups all purpose flour

  • CAKES: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 12 individual muffin tins. Use a muffin tray if individual trays are not available. Using a box grater, grate the apples and carrots. Set aside in a medium bowl. Add the raisins. In a large bowl combine the honey, brown sugar, cognac, vegetable oil, and mix until well combined. To this add the eggs and mix again until combined. To this mixture add the carrots, apples and raisins. Stir. At this point all the wet ingredients should be in the same bowl. In a medium bowl, combine all of the remaining dry ingredients, except the pecans. Sift together the dry ingredients so that all the spices evenly mixed together. Add all the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Fold together just until well combined. Stir in pecans. Pour mixture into greased muffin tins. Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes. (While the cakes are baking prepare the figs for the garnish.) A toothpick inserted into the cake should come out clean when removed. Cool slightly and glaze. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and to this add 1/2 cup of honey, stir until it comes together. Using a pastry brush, glaze the tops of the cakes, and lean 2 fig halves across each other and against the side of an individual honey cake. Nap sauce around figs.

  • In a large mixing bowl combine flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, apple pie spice, and salt. Add carrot, shredded apple, nuts, oil and eggs. Beat with an electric mixer at low speed until combined. Beat 1 minute at medium speed. Pour batter into prepared pans, spreading evenly.
  • Bake cake layers in convection oven 25 minutes or bake in standard oven 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Let cool in pans on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pans and cool completely.
  • For frosting, in a food processor bowl place the whipping cream, sour cream, brown sugar, and vanilla. Cover and process for 2 to 2-1/2 minutes or until stiff peaks form, stopping to scrape down sides every 30 seconds. (Or, place ingredients in a large mixing bowl and beat with a hand blender or electric mixer until stiff peaks form.).
  • To assemble cake, place 1 cake layer on a serving platter. Spread about 3/4 cup frosting on top of the first cake layer. Sprinkle the 1/4 cup crushed apple chips atop frosting. Top with second cake layer; frost top and sides of cake with remaining frosting. Decorate cake with whole apple chips and cinnamon sticks, if desired.
