Apple Harvest Cake by Magnolia Bakery
Yield: One very large 9” cake
Cake Ingredients:
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp nutmeg
½ tsp salt
3 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 ½ cups vegetable oil
2 tsp vanilla
3 cups ½” dice Granny Smith apples with skin on, about 3 medium apples
1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries chopped slightly in the food processor
½ cup raisins tossed with 1 TBLS flour
½ cup diced dates
½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour a 9 or 10-inch springform pan.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg and salt; set aside.
In a liquid measuring cup, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla. Place the sugar in a very large bowl, whisk in the egg mixture until smooth and creamy. Slowly fold in the flour mixture stirring with a spoon until incorporated. Using a spatula, scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl until no streaks of flour remain.
Using the same bowl that the flour was in, toss together the apples, raisins, dates, and walnuts until evenly mixed. Using a large metal spoon, add the fruit to the batter and mix until evenly distributed throughout.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes to an 1 hour and 30 minutes until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean. (If using a 10” springform pan it will take less time). It can be difficult to know when this cake is done as the cake creates a crust on the top while baking. You need to check the center with a toothpick several times which must come out clean. An extra 5 minutes in the oven to ensure the cake is done won’t hurt it. Place on a cooling rack while preparing the glaze.
Glaze Ingredients:
6 TBLS butter
6 TBLS brown sugar
6 TBLS granulated sugar
6 TBLS heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup heavy cream
Instructions:
In a medium sized saucepan, add the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar and heavy cream and vanilla, stir together. Bring to a boil, boil for one to two minutes or until the sugars are completely dissolved.
Pour 1/3 cup of the glaze over the warm (but not too hot) cake. If you are not serving the cake immediately, place the rest of the sauce in a container and place in the refrigerator.
Cool the cake completely in the pan. Once completely cool, remove from the spring form pan and place on your serving plate/platter.
To serve the cake, place the glaze in a saucepan. Heat on medium high heat, add the one cup of heavy cream. Bring to a boil and reduce until thickened, 5-10 minutes.
Present the cake at the table with the sauce on the side to pour per slice.
To cut the cake, use a serrated knife cutting with a sawing motion to get a nice clean slice.
