Categories     Cake

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 cup pitted prunes (chopped (I used 25 prunes cut in about six pieces each))
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup oil (I used Canola)
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon nutmeg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons dark corn syrup
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
6 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • I do not use a mixer with this cake. You will need 3 bowls, 1 large mixing bowl and 2 smaller bowls. Put your chopped prunes in one of the small bowls, cover with the cup of buttermilk and set aside. In the large bowl add together the oil, sugar, and eggs mixing well with a spoon. In the other bowl combine the flour, soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and nutmeg and use a wire whisk to mix well.
  • Pour the prunes and milk into the large bowl with the sugar, eggs, and oil. Add the dry ingredients and mix well with a spoon. (I use a wooden spoon). Add vanilla extract and mix. Spray a 9 x 13 cake pan and add the batter. Bake in preheated 325 degree oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until the center of the cake is done. Add the topping recipe below while still warm.

APPLE PRUNE CARDAMOM CAKE



Apple Prune Cardamom Cake image

This prune apple cardamom cake by the chef Genevieve Gergis was inspired by sticky toffee pudding, a dish that her husband and business partner, the chef Ori Menashe, loves. It's on the menu at their restaurant Bavel in Los Angeles, where it's served hot from the oven with date toffee sauce and whipped cream. You can serve this cake version with your favorite toffee or caramel sauce and ice cream. It makes a lovely dessert after a Rosh Hashana supper or as part of a spread to break the Yom Kippur fast.

Time 1h45m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup/170 grams lightly packed chopped prunes
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons/270 milliliters good apple cider
1 cup/170 grams grated apple (Pink Lady or other tart variety, peeled, grated and firmly packed)
7 tablespoons/100 grams unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for buttering the pan
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons/145 grams all-purpose flour
1/3 cup/40 grams einkorn flour (or use whole wheat pastry flour)
2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
2 1/2 teaspoons cardamom
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup/92 grams packed muscovado sugar, or 1/2 cup/110 grams light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
Whipped cream, crème fraîche or ice cream for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Put the prunes in a medium bowl and pour in the apple cider. Let soak at room temperature for at least 1 hour or, if longer, refrigerate up to overnight.
  • In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, simmer the soaked prunes and cider for 15 to 20 minutes until the prunes are soft and mostly broken down. Set aside and let cool to room temperature, then stir in the grated apples.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees and generously butter a 9-inch cake pan. In a large bowl, thoroughly whisk together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cardamom and cinnamon.
  • In a stand mixer, using the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 4 to 5 minutes. Scrape down the bowl, then add the vanilla extract and mix until combined. Scrape down the bowl once again, and add the eggs one at a time, scraping down in between each addition. Alternate adding half the prune mixture, then half the flour mixture, to the stand mixer bowl, starting with wet and ending with dry, scraping down between each addition. Take care not to overmix.
  • Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out with moist crumbs and no wet batter. Let cool on a rack for 10 minutes, then invert onto a plate. Invert again onto a serving plate and serve warm with whipped cream, crème fraîche or ice cream, if you'd like.

To help you make the perfect apple juice prune cake, here are some valuable tips you can use.

Tips for Ingredients

When it comes to making the perfect apple juice prune cake, the ingredients that you use are crucial. Here are some tips to keep in mind when choosing your ingredients.
Choose high-quality ingredients
Choosing high-quality ingredients is essential when making any recipe, including the apple juice prune cake. Using fresh apples, high-quality flour, and premium prunes will make a huge difference in the taste and texture of your cake. Invest in the best ingredients that you can afford, and you will notice the difference.
Go for organic options
Whenever possible, choose organic options for your ingredients, especially for the apples and prunes. Organic produce is grown without harmful pesticides and chemicals, making it safer and healthier for you and the environment.
Choose the right types of apples
To make the best apple juice prune cake, it is essential to choose the right type of apples. Apples that are sweet and juicy are the best options for this recipe. Some of the best apple varieties to use for this recipe include Granny Smith, Braeburn, and Honeycrisp.
Don't overdo the sugar
When making apple juice prune cake, it can be tempting to add more sugar to make it sweeter. However, it is important to remember that apples and prunes are already naturally sweet. Be careful not to overdo the sugar as it can ruin the natural taste of the cake.

Tips for Preparation

The preparation of the apple juice prune cake is just as crucial as choosing the right ingredients. Here are some tips to consider when preparing your cake.
Soak the prunes overnight
Soaking the prunes overnight will help to soften them and make them easier to blend with the other ingredients. Ensure that you drain the water before using the prunes.
Puree the prunes
Pureeing the prunes before adding them to the batter will help to make the cake smoother and more moist. You can use a food processor or a blender to puree the prunes.
Mix the ingredients well
Mixing the ingredients well is essential when it comes to making apple juice prune cake. Use a stand mixer or a hand mixer to mix the ingredients thoroughly, ensuring that there are no lumps or uneven distribution of ingredients.
Don't overmix the batter
Overmixing the batter can result in a dry and tough cake. Mix the batter just enough to incorporate the ingredients, and stop mixing once everything is combined.

Tips for Baking

The baking process can make or break your apple juice prune cake. Here are some tips to consider when baking your cake.
Use the right baking pan
Choose the correct size of a baking pan according to the amount of batter you have. An 8 or 9-inch square pan is the most commonly used pan for apple juice prune cake. Non-stick pans are also a great option to prevent the cake from sticking to the pan.
Preheat your oven
Preheating the oven ensures that your cake bakes properly and evenly. Set your oven to the temperature indicated in your recipe and let it heat up before baking.
Check the cake for doneness
To know when your apple juice prune cake is fully baked, insert a toothpick in the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready. If there are crumbs, your cake needs a bit more time in the oven.
Let the cake cool before frosting
Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will prevent the frosting from melting or sliding off the cake.

Conclusion

By following these tips, you will be able to create the perfect apple juice prune cake, a delicious and nutritious dessert that is perfect for any occasion. Remember to choose high-quality and organic ingredients, prepare the batter properly, and bake the cake to perfection. With these tips in mind, your apple juice prune cake is sure to turn out moist, fluffy, and packed with flavor. Enjoy!
