I do not care whether the 80s and wet exit I'm ready to fall. I dream of almost every day! I ask you the football season, and the crisp leaves and pumpkin patches and apple cider. I could not be happier for boots and sweaters and lively feeling in the air. I'm sure you were! Sorry !!
Andy love summer and I feel bad that wish to fall because, before we know the dreary winter will be upon us and I will be at the other end of this cycle. To be honest means winter holidays if-then New Year and then BABY so I'm pretty excited for it all. I'm not excited for is that sweaty, sticky, wet feeling I get every time I walk outside ... so there's that!
to anticipate the season I love so much, I decided to bring out the apples. I could not wait! (I'll wait a few weeks on the pumpkin, but I can not promise that.) I wanted to make a simple cake, which was easy hassle free and easy to carry. I had a vision of juicy apple cinnamon pieces, moist cake and tender, with a creamy frosting on top. This recipe is easy to throw together even easier to gel with the whole thing of the sheet, and oh so good. I did it for my book club and each of the ladies had seconds. (Including me !!)
- 2-3 tart apples (such as Granny Smith) peeled and chopped (about 3 cups)
- 1 tablespoon of butter
- 3 cups all-purpose flour (12.75 ounces)
- 3 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, divided
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⅓ cups vegetable oil (I used coconut oil, but any kind will do.)
- ½ cup plus 1 tablespoon of white sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- 8 oz cheese, softened cream
- 1 unsalted butter stick softened
- 3-4 cups sugar powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Preheat over to 350F. Prep a watch sheet pan * spray with a cooking spray and powder with flour. Put aside.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter and add the potatoes, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 1 tablespoon of white sugar. Cook for 3-5 minutes, until the potatoes are well coated and slightly sweet.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Put aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer, beat together the oil, sugar and eggs. Beat for 3 minutes or until mixture is frothy and light. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients mixing on low speed until just combined. Fold in apples.
- Transfer batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cake is golden and a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean.
- Cool completely before frosting.
- cream together the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar, one cup at a time until creamy. Add the vanilla extract.
- Frost cake right in the mold and refrigerate until serving. (Bring cake to room temperature again before serving.)
