For our year end team party, I made tiny bundt cakes. These were a HIT!
Ingredients:
For the cake:
3 cups of all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
3 teaspoons of ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 1/4 cups of canola or vegetable oil
1/2 cup of plain greek yogurt (I use low fat)
1 1/4 cups of light brown sugar
1/2 cup of granulated sugar
3 eggs
1 tablespoon of vanilla
3 medium apples (I used granny smith)
For the Glaze:
1 cup of brown sugar
1/4 cup of unsalted butter
1/2 cup of heavy cream
1/2 cup of confectioners sugar (sifted)
Cooking Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Start by peeling and cutting the apples.
I like to use granny smith because they are tart so the tartness helps counterbalance the sweetness of the cake.
I cut the apples into pieces the size of quarters.
3. Add all of the dry ingredients together (flour, sugar, brown sugar, and baking soda).
4. Mix in all of the wet ingredients (oil, eggs, vanilla, yogurt) with the dry ingredients.
5. After all of the ingredients are mixed, add apples to the mix.
6. After spraying the mini bundt pans, add the mixture to the pans.
7. Cook for about 10 minutes but stick a tooth pick into cake first to make sure that the cake is fully cooked.
*** If using just one bundt pan, cook for about 55 minutes but keep an eye on it.
8. While the cake is cooking, start on the glaze.
9. Combine the heavy cream, brown sugar, and butter into a medium sauce pan over medium heat.
10. Leave on heat till it starts to boil and then turn the temperature down to low.
11. Add the powdered sugar to the glaze. Allow glaze to cool for five minutes before pouring over the cake.
12. Once the cake is done cooking, let it cool for about 10 minutes.
13. Drizzle the glaze over the bundt cakes.
14. ENJOY!!!!
The kids were texting me for a week afterwards begging me to make these again for them! They were delicious!
