GRANDMA'S APPLE NUT CAKE



Grandma's Apple Nut Cake image

This is my husband's favorite. His mom gave it to us many years ago. I have refined the recipe just a little since then. Please don't tell her...hehe. It doesn't need a frosting because it is so yummy just by itself, but it would dress it up to drizzle with a thin creamy icing. I had misplaced this recipe for the longest time and had thought I had lost it, so I hadn't made it for ages. My husband found it this weekend and I have made it twice since then. Both times it was gone before it was even all the way cooled, thanks to our 5 daughters. My husband and I barely managed to claim a few bites before it disappeared. I'm posting it here to share with everyone and to keep it from ever getting lost again. It's definately a keeper.

APPLE CINNAMON NUT CAKE



Apple Cinnamon Nut Cake image

There are several similar recipes on this site but I used a few ideas from a coffee cake recipe and came up with this. The texture is very moist and delicate like a cake rather than dense like sweet bread. I also added broken pecans in the middle and on top (walnuts would also be good), but if you don't like nuts then leave them...

Provided by Donna Graffagnino

Categories     Sweet Breads

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 c margarine, softened
3/4 c sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 c brown sugar, packed (light or dark)
2 tsp ceylon cinnamon (or more to taste)
1 c broken pecans or walnuts (optional)
1 1/2 c all purpose flour
1 3/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 c milk
1 large apple, peeled and chopped 1/2" pieces
GLAZE
1/2 c light brown sugar, packed
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 Tbsp water

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350* F. Grease and flour a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan. It's always a good idea to line the bottom with Parchment Paper (NOT Waxed Paper.) I use butter flavored Pam and evenly spray the pan then use bread flour to dust it.
  • 2. In a medium sized mixing bowl cream margarine, sugar, and vanilla together on medium high speed then switch to high. Mix until it the color starts to lighten and it gets fluffy - about 3 minutes.
  • 3. Add eggs, one at a time and mix just long enough to incorporate them. Set mixture aside.
  • 4. In a different bowl sift or whisk flour, baking powder and salt together. Using a wooden spoon or spatula stir flour mixture into sugar-egg mixture. Add milk; stir until it's smooth, then stir in apples.
  • 5. In a small bowl combine 1/3 cup brown sugar, cinnamon, and pecans together. I prefer to use real ceylon cinnamon rather than cinnamon found on the spice isle, though it will work. Ceylon cinnamon has a better flavor than it's cinnamon cousin from the Cassia tree.
  • 6. Pour half of the batter into the loaf pan, then sprinkle the top with half of the cinnamon-sugar-pecan mixture. Use a butter knife to swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter.
  • 7. Repeat with the remaining batter and top with remaining cinnamon-sugar-pecan mixture. Again, swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter with a butter knife.
  • 8. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, then gently turn pan around for even baking. Cook another 40 minutes. If you oven runs hot either lower the temperature or check after a total baking time of 50 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center. The cake is done when the toothpick comes out just barely or almost clean. It will continue to cook after it's removed from the oven.
  • 9. Put pan on wire rack and let cool for 15 minutes. Run a butter knife around the edges of the pan and gently turn the cake out onto a wire rack. The cake is very light and will easily split if you aren't careful with it. Let it cool.
  • 10. Optional Glazes: You can either sprinkle the top with additional brown sugar and lightly caramelize it with a kitchen torch, or you can mix up the glaze and drizzle as much as you want over the top and sides. Enjoy with a cold glass of milk, or hot cup of coffee.

When it comes to baking, apple nut cake is one of the most delicious and comforting desserts you can make. With its sweet and moist texture, combined with the crunchiness of nuts and the tartness of apples, this cake is perfect for any occasion. If you're looking to make an apple nut cake recipe, there are plenty of things you need to keep in mind. From selecting the right ingredients to preparing the batter, here are some valuable tips that will help you bake the perfect apple nut cake.

Tip 1: Choose the right apples

The apples you use for your cake can make a big difference in the final outcome. You want apples that are sweet, tart and juicy, but also firm enough to hold up during baking. Some of the best apples for baking include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn. Avoid using Red Delicious or Gala apples as they tend to become mushy during baking.

Tip 2: Prepare the ingredients in advance

Before you start making your apple nut cake, it's important to have all the ingredients ready. This includes the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, eggs, oil, milk, nuts, and of course, the apples. Measure everything out and set it aside for easy access when you need it.

Tip 3: Use the right pan

The size and type of pan you use can affect the outcome of your cake. For apple nut cake, a 9-inch round cake pan or a 9x13-inch rectangular baking dish are good options. Make sure you grease the pan with cooking spray or butter and sprinkle it with flour to prevent sticking.

Tip 4: Don't overmix the batter

When you're making the batter for your apple nut cake, it's important not to overmix it. Overmixing can lead to the cake becoming tough and dry. Mix all the ingredients together just until they're combined, and avoid stirring the batter too vigorously.

Tip 5: Fold in the nuts and apples

Once you've mixed the batter, it's time to add the chopped nuts and apples. Use a spatula to fold them in gently, just until they're evenly distributed throughout the batter. This will ensure that the nuts and apples are evenly spread throughout the cake when it bakes.

Tip 6: Bake at the right temperature

The temperature you bake your apple nut cake at can also affect the outcome. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and bake the cake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Don't be tempted to open the oven door too often, as this can cause the cake to collapse.

Tip 7: Let the cake cool completely

Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Allowing the cake to cool down will prevent it from falling apart and ensure that it has the right texture.

Tip 8: Serve with toppings

Apple nut cake is delicious on its own, but it's even better with some toppings. You can dust it with powdered sugar, drizzle it with caramel sauce, or serve it with whipped cream or ice cream. These additions will make your cake even more delicious and appealing.

Tip 9: Store leftovers properly

If you have leftover apple nut cake, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will last for up to three days, and you can reheat it in the microwave or oven when you're ready to eat it. You can also freeze the cake for up to three months, making it a perfect dessert for later.

Tip 10: Experiment with flavors

Finally, don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors when making your apple nut cake. You can add other fruits like pears or cranberries, use different nuts like pecans or walnuts, or even add some chocolate chips for extra sweetness. The possibilities are endless, so play around until you find your perfect combination. With these tips in mind, you can easily make a delicious apple nut cake that everyone will love. Remember to take your time, use the right ingredients, and don't be afraid to get creative with your flavors. Happy baking!
