Servings: 12
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups Flour. --Scoop and level
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- ½ tsp Baking Soda.
- 2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1 tsp Allspice.
- 1 cup Butter. --Softened if you are using unsalted butter you can add a half teaspoon of salt to your flour.
- 6 tbsp Granulated Sugar Alternative --See recipe post for details
- ¾ cup Brown Sugar Alternative --See recipe post for details
- 3 Eggs. --Room temperature.
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 tsp Rum Extract.
- 2 Apples. --Peeled, cored, and finely diced.
- 1¾ cup Walnuts. --Chopped.
For the topping you will need additional brown sugar alternative (2 tbsp) and chopped walnuts (¼ cup).
Instructions
- Prepare. Gather in prepare your ingredients as indicated. This includes removing the cores and skin from your apples. Also, prep you cake pan for nonstick and preheat your oven to 350f.
- Dry Ingredients. In a medium bowl, use a sifter (or whisk if you do not have one) to combine together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, and optional salt.
- Wet Ingredients. Beat together the butter and sugar alternatives until light and fluffy (about two minutes). Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat in the eggs one at a time, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl between additions. Then blend in your extracts (vanilla and rum).
- Combine. Set your mixer on low and slowly add the dry ingredients from the first bowl to the mixing bowl, mixing until just combined.
- Apples. Use a rubber spatula or similar item to scrape down the sides of your mixing bowl. Then fold the apples and chopped walnuts into the cake batter.
- Bake. Evenly spread the cake batter into your prepared cake pan. Bake your cake until a toothpick comes out clean from the center of the cake (25-35 minutes depending on your oven and the pan used).
- Cool. Carefully remove the cake from your oven and place it on top of a wire cooling rack. While the cake is cooling you can sprinkle the remaining brown sugar alternative and chopped walnuts on top. I like to loosen the springform after about 15 minutes cooling on the rack so that the cake can finish cooling.
