welcome friends welcome back to the
kitchen fall is upon us the apples the
local ontario apples are starting to
come in so i thought we'd do today an
apple cake and apple coffee cake type
deal now there's a lot of ingredients on
the counter top but don't get freaked
out because it's very very simple at its
heart it's just a very basic cake
with sort of a streusely thing going on
so in this pot i'm going to take this
butter and melt it
and while that's melting i'm going to
move over here to the stand mixer and
just like every other cake we're going
to start out by creaming together some
butter
and some sugar
okay the butter has melted so i'm going
to turn off the heat and to that i'm
going to add brown sugar
flour
and salt and cinnamon
and then just stir that together to
combine it into uh
it's just going to look like a wet crumb
looks good and i can just leave that
here for now also looks like the butter
and sugar has creamed together nicely so
two eggs
one at a time
just let one get mixed in before you put
in the second
and even though this beater has a rubber
edge it's always a good idea to go in
with a rubber spatula every once in a
while and just kind of scrape down the
sides get all the spots that the beater
doesn't really get
so i'm going to do that before i add the
second egg
and
in with the second egg
while that's beating in i'm going to
deal with the dry ingredients so in this
bowl i have some flour to that i'm going
to add salt
baking soda
and baking powder
and i'll just give that a bit of a stir
to mix them together a little bit
okay now
a little bit of vanilla extract
and just a touch of lemon juice now we
were shooting cocktails in the studio
yesterday so i have some freshly
explosion exclusive lemon juice left
over and i just want about a tablespoon
the lemon juice
just helps to brighten the whole thing
up
i've started using it more and more in
cakes adding a little bit of extra acid
and it just makes it taste bright i
don't know what that's about
at this point i'm going to go back and
forth between flour and sour cream
a little bit of flour a little bit of
sour cream adding them back and forth
and back and forth so
in with the flour first
and then some sour cream
and then some flour
here i have a springform cake tint and
i'm going to put
maybe just a little bit more than half
about half
it's not critical
um how much you put but you know
kind of half
into the bottom i know that there's a
lot of people who would get it a scale
and uh and weigh it to be exact
and then i'm just going to spread that
all across the bottom get a nice even
layer
now i'm going to put about half of the
apple
spread it on top
and then
half of the crumble
and then just repeat the process another
layer of cake batter
topped with more apples and crumble and
i have the oven preheated to 350 degrees
fahrenheit
so i'm going to stick this in and give
it a bake
okay
look at that
okay that looks uh
that looks pretty good that looks
delicious hey friends hey glenn four
glenn's ringing forks i am ready
okay
fall apple cake with streuselli coffee
cakey type i'm already in
lovely
lovely i you know it's a classic style
cake and it is fabulous
i'm going in for another one
the apples keep it nice and moist
um
the spice flavor is really good you
could play with the spice flavor a
little bit
because there's only cinnamon in it so
you could add some of the other
sort of warming fall type spices other
things that you find in apple pie too
yup and i suspect you could also make it
with pears oh or almost all sorts of
fruits we throw in some cranberries
pears would be great pears would be
great yeah okay
i think this cake is really good it's
don't be freaked out by how many
ingredients you saw on the countertop at
the beginning
it still is a very simple cake to put
together thanks for stopping by see you
again soon
you
