Cinnamon Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180C (fan-forced) or 190C standard.
• Grease an 18cm (7") shallow cake tin OR a similar sized ring (bundt) tin - I prefer the latter.
• Add a very small pinch of salt to the egg white and beat until stiff peaks form.
• Add egg yolk, then gradually beat in the sugar.
• Mix together the milk and vanilla and add a little at a time, beating continuously.
• Using a wooden spoon (or beaters on low speed) gently stir in the flour and the melted butter.
• Pour batter into prepared cake tin.
• Place on the centre shelf of the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until cooked.
• Remove from oven and invert cake onto a plate.
• Using a pastry brush, gently paint all over with melted butter.
• Mix together sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over cake.
• Serve warm or cold.

Steps:

• For the filling:.
• Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Lightly butter a 9 or 9 1/2-inch springform pan.
• Dust the pan with flour, tapping out the excess.
• In a bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon.
• Divide the mixture in half.
• Place one half in a small bowl, drizzle over the melted butter, and toss to coat the mixture; it should look like damp sand.
• Set both aside.
• For the cake:.
• Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt onto a sheet of waxed paper.
• In an electric mixer, cream the butter on medium speed for 1 minute.
• Add the sugar in 2 portions, beating for 1 minute after each addition.
• Beat in the eggs, blending just to incorporate them; do not over-beat at this point.
• Blend in the vanilla extract.
• On low speed, beat in half of the flour mixture, the sour cream, then the remaining flour mixture.
• Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl with a rubber spatula to keep the batter even-textured.
• Spoon a little more than half of the batter into the pan.
• Sprinkle over the plain sugar-cinnamon mixture.
• Spoon the remaining batter on top and smooth the top with a palette knife.
• Sprinkle the buttered cinnamon-sugar over the top.
• Bake the cake for 45 minutes, or until the top is set and a wooden pick inserted about 2-inches from the center of the cake is clean when withdrawn. The edges of the baked cake will not shrink noticeably unless the cake overbakes.
• Set the cake on a rack to cool.
• Unclasp the ring on the pan, leaving the cake on its metal base.
• Slice the cake into 10 thick wedges for serving.

Steps:

• For the cake: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Line 13-by-18-by-1-inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment so that 2-inches overhang the long sides. Generously grease the parchment and unlined parts of the baking sheet with butter. Use a fine sieve to generously dust a large, clean kitchen towel confectioners' sugar until it is completely covered (about 1/2 cup). Set aside.
• Beat the eggs in large bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until very thick and pale yellow, about 5 minutes. Gradually beat in the granulated sugar and continue to beat until thick and the sugar has almost dissolved, 3 minutes. Beat in 2/3 cup water and the vanilla. Gradually add flour, beating just until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain. Pour into the prepared baking sheet and spread to the corners. Bake until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 15 to 18 minutes. Immediately loosen the cake from sides of baking sheet using a paring knife and invert the cake onto prepared towel. Carefully peel off the parchment. Using a sharp Chef's or serrated knife, cut the hot cake crosswise into four 4-inch-wide strips. Flip each over so that the top of the cake is facing up. Push the strips together so that the cut sides are touching each other and the cake looks whole and uncut. Position the cake so that the long end is facing you. Using the towel to help you, carefully roll cake and towel, forming a tight log. Let log cool on rack for 3 minutes. This will allow the cake to roll without cracking or breaking. Carefully unroll the cake, and let sit on rack until completely cooled. The ends will be curled up and there might be surface cracks on the top of the cake and that's OK.
• For the frosting: Beat together the butter and cream cheese in large bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup brown sugar and set aside. While beating on high, gradually add the remaining brown sugar (making sure to break up any clumps before you put it in the mixer), vanilla, cornstarch, 2 tablespoons cinnamon and salt until sugar is almost dissolved and no lumps remain, 3 to 5 minutes. If the frosting looks loose, chill for 30 minutes and continue to beat until thick and smooth. Frost the cake with half of the frosting, filling in any cracks and smoothing out the surface.
• Remove cake strips from towel and arrange on a clean work surface so that the strips are touching (short-end to short-end) to form a long cake strip running the length of your counter. Starting at one end, carefully roll-up 1 of the short ends tight enough so the cake sticks to the frosting but not so tight that the frosting gets squeezed out. Continue rolling-up each successive strip to form a fat roll. Carefully transfer to a cake plate or stand. Press on the sides of the cake to form an even and circular shape. Frost the sides of the cake with 1 cup of the remaining frosting. Refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes. Frost the sides of the cake again with the remaining frosting making sure it's about as thick as the inside layer of frosting.
• Mix together the reserved 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon in small bowl. Pass through a course sieve to break up any lumps. Lightly sprinkle on top of the cake, making the frosting look like the cinnamon part of the cinnamon roll. Chill, uncovered for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
• When ready to serve, stir powdered sugar and cream together in a small bowl until smooth and creamy. The mixture should be thick but pourable, add another tablespoon of cream if mixture is too thick. Drizzle over chilled cake so that some of the cream mixture drips down the sides (but don't cover up too much of the top of the cake or you won't see the cinnamon swirl!)

Steps:

• To make cake: Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine granulated sugar, flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a large mixing bowl. In a separate mixing bowl, combine eggs, apples, oil and vanilla. Add mixture to the dry ingredients, and stir just until well mixed. Batter will be thick. Pour cake batter into greased 13 x 9-inch pan. Sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Bake 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. To make Caramel Sauce: Combine butter, sugars, and evaporated milk in medium saucepan over medium high heat. Stirring constantly, bring to a boil for 1 minute. Add cinnamon and vanilla. Cool. Cut cake and serve with caramel sauce. If desired, top with ice cream or whipped topping.

Steps:

• Combine the egg whites and sugar in a stand mixer bowl and whisk to combine. Place bowl over simmering water while whisking regularly until the mixture reaches 140 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer and the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove bowl from heat and whip the mixture at medium to high speed until the meringue has cooled almost completely.
• Slowly add the room temperature butter piece by piece until the buttercream takes on a cottage cheese consistency. Add the melted cooled chocolates, spices, and vanilla until incorporated and smooth.
• Cream the butter in a stand mixer until smooth and light. Add sugar and continue to mix until fully incorporated and fluffy.
• Add 1 egg at a time, beating well after each addition. In a medium bowl sift together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine milk and vanilla. Add portions of the flour mixture and milk mixture to the electric mixer, alternating, starting and ending with flour. Pour evenly into 2 buttered and floured 9-inch cake pans.
• Bake for 40 minutes or until golden - cake should pull away from the side and spring back to the touch.
• Frost cake and decorate as desired.

Steps:

• For the caramels: Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat.
• Reserve 1/2 cup caramels for serving. Put 6 of the remaining caramels on the prepared baking sheet and bake until bubbly and slightly dark around the edges, about 5 minutes. Let cool completely on the baking sheet, then crush into a fine powder in a food processor; set aside.
• For the filling: Combine the remaining caramels with the milk, salt and 1/4 cup of the granulated sugar in a medium saucepan. Bring to just below a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk the cornstarch, egg yolks and remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar in a large bowl until smooth. While continually whisking, slowly pour in about half of the milk mixture until combined. Transfer the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until thickened like pudding, 2 to 4 minutes.
• Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly on the surface, and refrigerate until chilled, 2 hours to overnight.
• For the crepes: Puree the milk, flour, granulated sugar, butter, vanilla, salt, cinnamon and eggs in a blender on high speed until well mixed. Let the batter rest in the blender for 1 hour at room temperature or refrigerate up to 24 hours.
• Before cooking, re-blend the batter on high speed for 30 seconds. Wipe 1/2 teaspoon butter on a medium crepe pan or 8-inch nonstick skillet in a very thin layer with a paper towel. Heat the pan over medium until hot.
• Ladle 3 tablespoons batter into the pan. Working quickly off the heat, swirl and shake the pan to evenly coat the bottom. Return to the heat and cook the crepe, reducing the heat if it's browning too quickly, until the edges are light golden, about 2 minutes. Carefully loosen the crepe from the pan and flip it with a spatula. Cook until a few brown spots appear, 15 to 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, wiping the pan with butter each time. Stack the crepes on the plate as you go (you should have about 20). Let them cool for 10 minutes before filling.
• Finish the filling: Beat the heavy cream and confectioners' sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes. Stir one-quarter of the cream mixture into the caramel filling, then gently fold in the rest.
• Put 1 crepe on a platter and top with a 1/4 cup filling, spreading it to the edge. Repeat, stacking the remaining crepes and filling, and ending with a crepe. Refrigerate overnight.
• Microwave the reserved 1/2 cup caramels, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted, about 1 minute. Top the cake with whipped cream, drizzle with the melted caramel and sprinkle with the caramel powder.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan. In a medium bowl, combine flour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry cutter or two knives, cut in shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Put 1/2 cup of the mixture in a small bowl, stir in remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon, and set aside. Stir egg and milk into remaining flour mixture.
• Spoon batter into the prepared pan, and smooth the surface. Pour melted butter over the top. Sprinkle reserved crumb mixture evenly over the butter. Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes.
