May 10, 2013 - Apple Cake

So it's been a few days since I've baked/blogged anything.  It was a crazy week (had to get a new car), so I haven't had much time for baking.  However, last night I had some time so I thought I should try and squeeze somthing in.  I looked through the book and found the recipe for Apple cake.  I had only made 2 cake recipes so far so I figured this would be a good one to go for.

 

I love any dessert with fruit, so this looked right up my alley.  I mixed up the cake batter then chopped up my apples.  It was interesting to me that you bake the apples completely uncooked and just rely on a combo of brown and white sugar at the base of the pan to help them get the awesome flavor they had.  The batter went on top of the apples and it baked for about 40 minutes.

 

The cake demoulded perfectly, and smelled awesome.  After letting it sit for about 45 minutes I couldn't wait any more so I cut a slice.  Wow.  This cake was awesome.  The cake itself was very light and fluffy, and the apples added such an amazing tart yet sweet flavor.  Combined together and it was a great tasting cake.
