NOTE: All ingredients are doubled for this video Ingredients • ▢1½ cups of cooking oil • ▢2 cups granulated sugar • ▢4 large eggs • ▢3 cups all-purpose flour • ▢1 teaspoon baking soda • ▢½ teaspoon cinnamon • ▢1 teaspoon salt • ▢2 teaspoons vanilla extract • ▢3½ cups Granny Smith apples peeled and finely chopped (approximately 3-4 apples) • ▢1 cup pecans finely chopped For the Caramel Glaze: • ▢¾ cups unsalted butter 1 ½ sticks • ▢1 cup light brown sugar • ▢¼ cup whole milk • ▢1 teaspoon vanilla extract (Kay’s Cocina note: I added ¾ cup confectioner’s sugar after I took glaze off stove. I wasn’t sure if it was thick enough and I think for me the sugar made it just the perfect pouring consistency. This was not part of the original recipe) Instructions Preheating and Pan Preparation: • Begin by preheating the oven to 325°F (163°C). Thoroughly grease and flour a tube pan, or alternatively, two loaf pans, to ensure easy removal of the cake once baked. Mixing the Batter: • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooking oil, granulated sugar, and eggs. Beat these ingredients together until the mixture is creamy and homogeneous. • In a separate medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. This will help incorporate air and ensure even distribution of the leavening agents and spices. • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the batter, which can result in a tough cake. Incorporating Flavorings and Add-ins: • Stir in the vanilla extract to infuse the batter with its rich flavor. • Fold in the chopped apples and pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter for consistent texture and flavor in every slice. Baking the Cake: • Pour the batter into the prepared pan(s). Place in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 1 hour. At around the 50-minute mark, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. If not, continue baking but monitor closely to avoid overbaking. Preparing the Caramel Glaze: • While the cake is cooling, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. • Stir in the brown sugar and milk, and bring the mixture to a boil over low heat. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and continue to stir constantly. • Allow the mixture to boil for 10 minutes until it thickens slightly, then remove from heat. • Stir in the vanilla extract and let the glaze cool slightly; it should still be pourable but not too hot. Finishing with Caramel Glaze: • Once the cake is slightly cooled and the glaze is the right consistency, pour the caramel glaze evenly over the top of the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides. This not only adds flavor but also enhances the presentation of the cake. Thanks for stopping by! See you in the next one!
