- FOR THE CAKE:
- 8 Tablespoons Butter, Softened To Room Temperature
- 1-1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 Large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla
- 2 cups All-purpose Flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking Soda
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoons Ground Nutmeg
- 4 cups Peeled, Cored And Grated/shredded Apple (for 4 Cups You'll Need About 5 Large Apples) Plus Any Accumulated Juice
- FOR THE CREAM SAUCE:
- 4 Tablespoons Butter
- 1/2 cups Whipping Cream
- 1/2 cups Granulated Sugar
- 1/4 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
Method
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan and set aside.
- 2. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until well-combined. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until light and creamy.
- 3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add the dry ingredients to the wet batter and mix until just combined and a few dry streaks remain. The batter will be very stiff but will thin out after the apples are stirred in.
- 4. Stir in the grated apple with any accumulated juice and mix until combined. No need to over-mix, just stir until the apples are incorporated.
- 5. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and set pan on a rack.
- 6. You can make the cream sauce while the cake is baking. Combine the butter, cream and sugar in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a low simmer and stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is combined.
- 7. Simmer gently for 10 minutes, stirring often. Remove from heat, stir in the vanilla and keep warm until ready to serve.
- 8. Cut the warm cake into pieces and drizzle with the warm cream sauce.
