Cream Cheese Frosting on an Apple Pecan Cake
DIrection:
Adjust the oven’s temperature to 325°F (163°C): Prepare your oven for baking. This is the ideal temperature if you want your cake to bake evenly and rise properly.
2. Put four large eggs, two cups of granulated sugar, and three-quarters of a cup of vegetable oil in a large mixing bowl. Using a whisk or an electric mixer, combine all the ingredients and blend until smooth. The mixture will be pale and somewhat thick once the sugar and eggs have been thoroughly mixed.
3. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a another dish,
- combine 3 cups all-purpose flour,
- 1 teaspoon baking soda,
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon,
- and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt.
To preserve the dry components light and uniform in texture when baked, sift them.
4. Mix the Moist and Dry Elements, Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture slowly and steadily while stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this will make the cake thick. Whisk the batter until it’s smooth after adding the two tablespoons of vanilla extract.
5. Add 1 cup of chopped pecans and 3 1/2 cups of diced Granny Smith apples, and stir gently until completely blended. The pecans add a delightful crunch, and the apples add natural juices and a hint of sweetness.
Make sure the pecans and apples are evenly distributed before adding them to the batter.
Step 6: Prepare the pan: To prevent sticking, butter and flour two cake pans or a tube pan. Distribute the batter evenly into the pan you are prepare.
Create a Glaze:
Transfer the cake to a wire rack to finish cooling after ten minutes. Once the cake has cooled, cover it with the warm caramel glaze and allow it to absorb. Make sure the cake is fully cooled before serving.
