AUNTIE'S APPLE CAKE



Auntie's Apple Cake image

Come autumn, Southerners love an apple dessert, no matter which form it takes. You'll see farmers' market apples filling everything from warm and gooey apple cobbler with a scoop of ice cream on top to a towering apple stack cake with sweet, sticky filling. But you really can't beat a classic apple cake-and Auntie's Apple Cake is certainly one for the recipe box. This traditional recipe for easy apple cake has everything you need: fresh apples, a pecan-studded spiced batter, and a heavenly praline-like frosting. Everyone will swoon when served a slice for dessert, but this cake works just as well as a brunch treat (paired with a cup of coffee!) or as a sweet snack with afternoon tea. Like most fresh apple cakes, it actually tastes better after a day or two. For this recipe, any baking apple will do; but we suggest using pink lady, granny smith, or honeycrisp apples. Get a taste of a Southern fall-favorite dessert when serving up Auntie's Apple Cake this season. Ice cream optional!

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
pinch cloves
6 tablespoons butter (at room temperature)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar (lightly packed)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon orange zest (optional)
3/4 pound granny smith apples (peeled, cored and cut into a small dice)
powdered sugar (for garnish)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9 inch round cake pan or a square 9 inch x 9 inch baking pan. Set aside. (Alternately, you can spray with nonstick cooking spray, line bottom with parchment and spray paper again lightly with more nonstick for extra insurance.)
  • Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves into a medium bowl.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, butter, vanilla, and orange zest on medium speed for 3 minutes.
  • With the mixer on low, slowly add the flour mixture to the wet mixture, just until combined. With a rubber spatula, fold the apples into the batter. Spread into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  • Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Set aside to cool, dust with powdered sugar, cut into pieces, and serve warm or at room temperature.
