It doesn't have pecans and the frosting has considerably less powdered sugar, making the cream cheese flavor that much more intense. For the holidays, this cake can be dressed up by adorning it with holly berries. Randomly place clusters of three of red hot candies. Cut several leaves from a Granny Smith apple and place one on either side of the clusters. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, melted |
2 cups sugar |
2 eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
2 cups flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 teaspoons cinnamon |
4 granny smith apples, peeled and sliced |
8 ounces cream cheese, softened |
3 tablespoons butter, softened |
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
Directions:
1. Stir together first 4 ingredients in a large bowl until well blended.
2. Combine flour and next 3 ingredients. Add dry mixture to the butter mixture, stirring until blended. The mixture will be very thick.
3. Stir in apple slices. It hardly seems like enough batter to coat the apples, but bakes up beautifully.
4. Spread batter into greased 9x13 pan and bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
5. For the frosting, beat cream cheese and butter until creamy.
6. Gradually add sugar and salt, beat well.
7. Stir in vanilla and frost the cooled cake.
