Cream Cheese Frosting on an Apple Pecan Cake

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.

7. Bake the Cake: After preheating the oven, put the pan(s) in there and bake for around 60 minutes. Place a toothpick into the middle of the cake after 50 minutes to see whether it’s cooked through. The cake is done when it leaves behind just crumbs or a clean surface. Cake pans may bake more quickly than tube pans, so make sure to check on them at 50 minutes.
Eighth, Get the Caramel Glaze Ready:
You may whip up the caramel glaze while the cake cools. Melt 1/3 cup of unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.Stir add half a cup of light brown sugar and half a cup of milk as the liquid is reaching a low boil. Continue to whisk and boil until the glaze thickens slightly, about 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove the pan from the heat and add 1 teaspoon of the vanilla essence.
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.
