Easy Spice Cake With Warm Brown Sugar Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• For the spice cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray the inside of a 10-inch Bundt pan with cooking spray.
• Cream the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.
• Sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg.
• Add the eggs to the creamed butter, one at a time, beating after each addition. Add the sour cream, alternating with the flour mixture, beginning and ending with the flour and beating until no flour is visible -- don't overbeat.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan; tap the pan on the counter to remove any air pockets. Bake for 1 hour, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool slightly in the pan, 5 to 10 minutes, then turn out onto a rack while still warm.
• For the lemon sauce: Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar in the top of a double boiler over medium heat. Stir in the lemon juice, zest and butter. Cook until thickened, whisking often, about 30 minutes.
• Serve the cake warm or room temperature with the lemon sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10-inch fluted tube pan (such as a Bundt®).
• Whisk flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and cloves in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Mix apple pie filling, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract into dry ingredients to make a batter; stir in walnuts. Pour batter into prepared tube pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cake is lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean or with moist crumbs, about 1 hour. Cool cake thoroughly in pan, at least 1 hour, before removing pan.

Steps:

• For the cake, grease a 9" x 13" cake pan; line the bottom with parchment paper.
• Set aside.
• In a large bowl, beat the butter with the brown sugar until fluffy; beat in the eggs, one at a time.
• Beat in the vanilla.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, allspice and nutmeg.
• Stir into the butter mixture alternately with the applesauce and buttermilk, making 3 additions of dry ingredients and 2 of wet.
• Spread in the prepared pan.
• Bake in the centre of a 350 degree F oven until the cake tester inserted in the centre comes out clean, about 35 minutes.
• Let cool in the pan on a rack.
• For the icing, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
• Add the brown sugar and corn syrup; bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
• Boil just until blended, about 1 minute.
• Remove from the heat.
• Using a wooden spoon, stir the milk and vanilla into the butter mixture.
• Again using a wooden spoon, beat in the icing sugar until smooth and spreadable; let cool for 1 minute.
• Spread over the top of the cake just to the edge, letting the icing drizzle over slightly.

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and lightly flour a metal or disposable foil 9-by-13-inch pan. Whisk dry ingredients and spices in a large bowl. Mix milk, eggs and vanilla extract in a 2-cup measuring cup.
• Beat softened butter into dry ingredients, first on low, then medium, until mixture forms pebble-sized pieces. Add about 1/3 of the milk mixture and beat on low until smooth. Add remaining milk mixture in two stages; beat on medium speed until batter is just smooth. Add the sugar; beat until just incorporated, about 30 seconds. Pour batter into cake pan.
• Bake until a cake tester or toothpick inserted into the cake's center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Set pan on a wire rack; let cool for 5 minutes. Run a knife around the pan perimeter and turn cake onto rack. Let cool.

Steps:

• Set oven rack to center position and preheat oven to 350.
• Coat a 9-inch springform pan with baking spray. A regular 9-inch round cake pan will do.
• Cut a parchment paper liner to fit the bottom of the pan. Coat liner with baking spray, and dust entire pan with flour. Be sure to shake off extra flour.
• Sift together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and cloves.
• Cream butter and sugar in a medium bowl with an electric mixer. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each. Add sifted dry ingredients alternately with buttermilk and stir after each addition.
• Pour mixture into pan and bake 55-60 minutes, or until a tester inserted into the cake comes out clean.
• While the cake is baking, prepare the soft caramel sauce. Combine sugar, water, and corn syrup in a heavy saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring with a wooden spoon.
• Dip a brush in water and wash down insides of the pan. Reduce heat to medium high. DO NOT STIR. Continue boiling until mixture turns golden brown, NOT dark brown, about 6 minutes.
• Remove from heat and add butter, stirring slowly until melted. Add cream and stir again. Cream may make the sauce form up. If the sugar mixture doesn't want to mix with the cream, put the pan on medium heat and stir with wooden spoon until smooth, about 1 minute. Add salt. Pour into a glass bowl and set aside. (You can make the sauce ahead and store it in a glass container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.).
• When cake is done, remove it from pan and place on a cooling rack. When cool, pour warm Soft Caramel Sauce over the cake and smooth top and sides. Sprinkle top with golden raisins if desired.

Steps:

• For cake:
• Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 325F. Spray 12-cup Bundt pan with nonstick spray. Sift flour and next 6 ingredients into medium bowl. Drain grated apples in strainer. Using hands or kitchen towel, squeeze out excess liquid from apples. Measure 2 cups grated apples.
• Using electric mixer, beat butter, both sugars, and lemon peel in large bowl until fluffy. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time. Mix in vanilla and lemon juice. Beat in flour mixture. Mix in grated apples. Transfer batter to prepared pan. Bake cake until tester inserted near center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool in pan on rack 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare glaze:
• Stir all ingredients in small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until sugar dissolves and mixture comes to boil. Reduce heat to medium; whisk until glaze is smooth, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Invert cake onto rack set over baking sheet. Using small skewer, pierce holes all over top of warm cake. Pour glaze over top, allowing it to be absorbed before adding more. Cool cake 30 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly butter and flour cake pan, knocking out excess flour.
• Make caramelized apples:
• Peel and core apples, then cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges.
• Spread softened butter in an even layer over bottom of a 12-inch heavy skillet and sprinkle with brown sugar. Add apple wedges and cook over moderate heat, without stirring, until sugar is melted and apples start to give off liquid, about 10 minutes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until apples are just tender and juices become syrupy, about 30 minutes more.
• Pour syrup from skillet into a small heatproof bowl, then sauté apples, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and very tender, about 30 minutes more. Return syrup to apples and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.
• Make cake while apples cook:
• Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices in a bowl.
• Beat together butter and brown sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until pale and fluffy. Beat in egg until combined. Add maple syrup, sour cream, and vanilla and beat until combined well. Reduce speed to low and add flour mixture, then mix until just incorporated.
• Spread batter in cake pan and bake until cake is golden brown and a wooden pick or skewer inserted in center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool in pan on a rack 10 minutes.
• Make cream just before serving:
• Beat cream with sour cream and sugar using cleaned beaters at high speed until it just holds soft peaks.
• To serve:
• Run a thin knife around edge of pan, then invert cake onto a plate and cut into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature, topped with warm apple mixture and cream.
