Best Carrot Cake Stuffed Ebelskivers Recipes

CREAM CHEESE STUFFED CARROT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Butter and flour a 10 cup bundt cake pan (or use nonstick-spray with flour in it). Set aside.**
• To make the Cream Cheese Filling, beat the cream cheese and sugar until light and creamy. Beat in remaining Filling Ingredients until smooth. Set Aside.
• In a large bowl, mix all of the Dry Ingredients together. In a separate bowl, gently whisk eggs then stir in remaining Wet Ingredients just until combined. Don't overmix.
• Stir Wet Ingredients into Dry Ingredients just until moistened, then stir in 2 1/2 cups grated carrots until evenly combined (I use my clean hands to stir in the carrots).
• Spoon 3 cups batter into prepared bundt cake pan. Spoon Cream Cheese Filling over batter and gently smooth, but do not touch the sides of the pan. Top with remaining batter.
• Bake at 350F degrees for 45 minutes, cover with foil then reduce heat to 325 and bake an additional 25-30 minutes or until toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
• To make the Orange Cream Cheese Glaze, using an electric mixer, cream together all of the Glaze ingredients EXCEPT the powdered sugar on medium speed for 1-2 minutes or until completely smooth. Add sifted powdered sugar and beat until very smooth, scraping down sides as needed. Place the frosting in the refrigerator for 5 to 10 minutes before using.
• When cake has cooled, drizzle Glaze over cake or individual servings, whisking in additional orange juice/milk if Glaze has become too thick upon standing.
• Store in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.

AEBLESKIVER

Steps:

• In a clean glass or metal bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until they can hold a stiff peak. Set aside.
• Mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, sugar, egg yolks, melted butter and buttermilk at one time and beat until smooth. Gently fold in the egg whites last.
• Put about 1tablespoon of vegetable oil in the bottom of each aebleskiver pan cup and heat until hot. Pour in about 2 tablespoons of the batter into each cup. As soon as they get bubbly around the edge, turn them quickly (Danish cooks use a long knitting needle, but a fork will work). Continue cooking, turning the ball to keep it from burning.

STUFFED EBELSKIVERS

Steps:

• Whisk together the flour, light brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
• Whisk together the egg yolks, milk and sour cream in another medium bowl. Whisk the yolk mixture into the flour mixture until just combined. The batter will be lumpy. Allow the batter to rest while you whip the egg whites.
• Put the egg whites in another medium bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat the whites until stiff peaks form, about 1 minute. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter.
• Heat an ebelskiver pan on medium heat for 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low heat. Put a cube of butter into 4 of the wells; it should barely sizzle when it hits the pan. Use the back of a spoon to slide the butter up the sides of the wells so that each well is coated and some butter pools at the bottom. Fill the buttered wells almost to the top with batter, about 2 tablespoons each. Repeat with the butter and batter in the remaining 4 wells. (You are working in batches to prevent the butter from burning.)
• Cook until the batter puffs and bubbles on top, 3 to 4 minutes. Then take a wooden skewer, push it through the raw batter and into the bottom crust of each ebelskiver to turn it and confirm the bottom is set into a golden brown crust (if it's not, return the dumpling to its original position and let it continue to cook). Using the skewer, turn the ebelskivers so the cooked parts are half-in, half-out of the cups. Raw batter will spill into the wells but the dumplings should hold their shape. (If a dumpling does not slide up easily or hold its shape, slide it back to its original position and give it more time to cook and set.)
• Cook until the new undersides are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes more. Carefully stuff the desired filling into the openings. (For each ebelskiver use 1 large or 2 small raspberries, 3 or 4 semi-sweet chocolate chips or a heaping 1/2 teaspoon of fruit preserves or jam.) Use up to 1 teaspoon of additional batter to top the filling in each ebelskiver. Using the skewer and a finger, if necessary, turn the ebelskivers once more so the additional batter is now on the bottom of the wells. Cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes more.
• Check all sides of the ebelskivers: If there are pale spots on some, turn them down so they brown against the bottom of the pan for a few seconds. When they are done, the ebelskivers should be evenly deep golden brown and a skewer inserted deep into the dough, avoiding the filling, comes out clean. If you find that some are cooking much more quickly than others, rotate the pan occasionally to even out the heat.
• Remove the ebelskivers from the pan. Repeat the buttering and turning process with the remaining batter to make 6 or 7 more ebelskivers. By the second batch, the pan will be significantly hotter, so you won't need to increase the heat to medium to get started and the ebelskivers will cook more quickly.
• Dust the ebelskivers with confectioners' sugar and serve warm with maple syrup.
