Rich, dense cake. Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 cup whole wheat flour |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil |
2 cups sugar |
3 eggs |
3 golden delicious apples |
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts |
3 tablespoons apple brandy |
16 ounces cream cheese |
1/2 cup butter |
1 cup cold caramel |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325.
2. Grease and flour two 9 X 2 round cake pans and line the bottom with waxed or parchment paper.
3. Sift together flours, cinnamon, baking soda, salt.
4. On medium speed, beat oil with sugar for 3 minutes or until smooth. Add eggs (room temperature) one at a time and beat until light, 1 or 2 minutes. Add the dry ingredients in thirds, beating after each addition until smooth.
5. Expect a thick and doughlike batter.
6. With a spoon, stir in the apples (cut in 1 inch pieces), walnuts, and brandy until just barely blended.
7. Bake for 44-55 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean. Let rest in pans for 10 minutes then remove and cool completely.
8. On medium speed beat cream cheese and butter until smooth, for about 3 minutes. Gradually add caramel until it is well incorporated.
