How do you make a moist apple cake?
Choose fresh, juicy apples for natural sweetness and moisture. Uniformly slice apples for even cooking.
Use cold butter for a flaky texture in your dough.
Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined to avoid a dense cake.
Bake until just done, and check for doneness using a toothpick. Remove the cake from the oven as soon as it’s set and a toothpick comes out clean or with a few crumbs.
Let the cake cool in the pan for a while before transferring it to a wire rack, which helps maintain its moisture.
The frosting for this cake is a rich, creamy blend of white chocolate and Irish whiskey, creating an indulgent topping that perfectly complements the apples.
Slice and serve with extra frosting.
Which apples are best for apple cake?
For an apple cake, choose a mix of sweet and tart apples that hold their shape well when baked, such as:
Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Fuji, Gala, Braeburn, Golden Delicious and McIntosh.
Mixing different types will enhance the flavor and texture of your apple cake!
Yes, you can freeze apple cake. To do so, cool the cake completely, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or foil, and optionally double-wrap it in an airtight freezer bag or container. Label and date the cake before freezing, and when you’re ready to enjoy it, thaw it in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight.
Yes, chopped nuts or raisins can be added for extra texture and flavor. Fold them into the batter before baking.
