APPLE CAKE WITH BROWN BUTTER FROSTING Fall is here 🍂🍁 Cake * 240 g all-purpose flour (2 cups) * 2 tsp baking powder * ½ tsp salt * 140 g unsalted butter, softened (10 tbsp) * 130 g granulated sugar (⅔ cup) * 40 g light brown sugar, packed (3 tbsp) * 2 eggs, room temperature * 115 g Greek yogurt (½ cup) * 30 g milk (2 tbsp) Apple Filling * 3 apples, peeled and diced * 40 g brown sugar (3 tbsp) * ½ tsp cinnamon * 1 tsp cornstarch * 3 tbsp water Brown Butter Frosting * 200 g cream cheese (about 7 oz) * 50 g butter (3½ tbsp) * 50 g powdered sugar (⅓ cup + 1 tbsp) Instructions 1. Make the apple filling. Place the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon and water in a pan. Cook over medium heat until the apples are tender. 2. Mix the cornstarch with a little water, add it to the apples and cook for another minute. Remove from the heat and let cool completely. 3. Make the cake. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper. 4. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. 5. In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar for 2–3 minutes, until light and fluffy. 6. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Add the Greek yogurt and mix until smooth. 7. Add the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Pour in the milk and mix briefly. Do not overmix. 8. Spread half of the batter into the prepared pan. Add half of the apple filling and gently swirl it into the batter with a knife. 9. Add the remaining batter and smooth the top. 10. Bake for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top gets too dark, cover loosely with foil. 11. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack and cool completely. 12. Make the frosting. Melt the butter in a pan and cook until golden brown and nutty-smelling. Let it cool for about 30 minutes. It should still be liquid, but no longer hot. 13. Beat the cooled brown butter with the room-temperature cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. 14. Spread the frosting over the completely cooled cake. Top with the remaining apple filling. 15. Slice and enjoy! 🍎🤎 #applecake #applerecipe #fallcake #applecakerecipe #creatorsearchinsights - @alinavrn
