RE: post #12122 - Mom's Apple Cake... Meryl, Deb_in_MI, AngAK, dianncy1964...

I don't have a tube pan, so do you think this would work well in a layer pan? If so, what size?

I see that at least 3 of you made this and raved about it, so Meryl, could you put it in T&T?

Thanks ladies!

Cheezz, you can use two 9x2-inch rounds minimum. Here's a chart for future reference:

First: its better to just add the apples into the batter than layering it

also I would have used a 13x9 pan if I didn't have a tube pan. Its plentiful. I think this particular cake is an awesome breakfast cake or when you need to bring something for a potluck or a casual gathering

 

[meryl]

I agree - better idea to use a 9x13. smileys/smile.gif

Dianne, is there any benefit at all in layering the apples?

 

[deb-in-mi]

The apples tend to 'layer' themselves a bit....

but I've never layered them. Mainly because I want to make sure that batter covered everything bit of apple surface (because the batter is so good. That little hit of orange juice really adds so much!)

Thanks, Deb!

 

[meryl]

Just posted it in T&T.

Hey Deb or Diane or Ang - It sounds a little too sweet for me with the 2 cups of sugar - how do you

think it would be with 1 1/2 cups?

 

[dianncy1964]

It's not too sweet, I thought so too, but it's not overly sweet, just right

 

[dianncy1964]

If you layer them, they'll move in the tube pan that's why I just mixed apples into the batter

 

[meryl]

Okay, thanks.

 

[meryl]

OK - Will just mix them in (if I ever find apples with any taste so I can make this).

 

[cheezz]

Thanks gals... another question!! Do you think it would work for cupcakes?

I want to make it for next weekend and frost with the caramel frosting from Neighbor Dorothy's Heavely Caramel Cake... one of my favorite frostings.

[dianncy1964]

I don't see why not~ but I think they would be Apple Cake Muffins instead of cupcakes

 

[cheezz]

I'm going to do them next weekend, so will let you know how it goes!

 

[angak]

my apples were quite sweet, so I cut the sugar to 1.5 cups and didn't stir any into the apples,

just the cinnamon. I also cut the oil to 3/4 cup and added some light raisins. I'm thinking of making this in 2 loaf pans next time.

 

[meryl]

Thanks, Ang. Wow - sweet apples - what are they? I'm so used to tasteless ones!

 

[angak]

costco galas, I believe.
