Recipe of the Month – French Apple Cake – By Jenn Segal

With tart apples baked into a buttery cake with just a hint of rum, this might be the best apple cake you’ll ever taste. It’s simple yet so satisfying—perfect for dessert, a cozy afternoon snack, or even breakfast (yes, it’s that good!).

Servings: 8
Prep Time: 20minutes minutes
Cook Time: 40minutes minutes
Total Time: 1hour hour

Ingredients
• 1 cup all-purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup and leveled off
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
• ⅔ cup granulated sugar, plus more for sprinkling over cake
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons dark rum
• 2 baking apples, peeled, cored and cut into ½-inch cubes (3½ to 4 cups chopped; see note)
• Confectioners’ sugar (optional), for decorating cake

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and set an oven rack in the middle position. Grease a 9-inch (23-cm) spring form or regular cake pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray. If using a regular cake pan, line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper and grease again.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
  3. Using a handheld mixer with beaters or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well and scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition. Beat in the vanilla and rum. Don’t worry if the batter looks grainy at this point; that’s okay. Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed until just combined. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the chopped apples.
  4. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and even the top. Sprinkle evenly with 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until the cake is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool on a rack in the pan. Once cool, run a blunt knife around the edges of the cake. If using a spring form pan, remove the sides. If using a regular cake pan, carefully invert the cake onto the rack, remove the parchment paper, then gently flip the cake over and place it right-side-up on a platter. Using a fine sieve, dust with confectioners’ sugar (if using). Cake can be served warm or room temperature, plain or with lightly sweetened whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
    Notes
    • When baking this cake, it’s important to use apples suitable for baking. Baking apples hold their shape when cooked, so the chunks of fruit won’t turn into applesauce in the oven. Tart-sweet varietals such as Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Pink Lady, Braeburn, and Jonagold are all great options. Feel free to combine different varieties for a more nuanced flavor.
    • Make-Ahead/Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The cake is best enjoyed fresh but for up to 2 days. Store at room temperature in a cake dome or covered with foil. It can also be frozen for up to 3 months. After it is completely cooled, wrap it tightly with aluminum foil or freezer wrap. Thaw overnight on the countertop before serving.

Recipe of the Month – Strawberry Tres Leche Cake

This strawberry tres leches cake is a delicious summertime treat. A moist but light cake soaked in fresh strawberry milk and topped with whipped cream and fresh strawberries. The strawberry milk is the key to imparting maximum strawberry flavor into the cake.
By Amanda Holstein, Tested by Allrecipes Test Kitchen
Prep Time: 30 mins / Cook Time: 25 mins / Cool Time: 4 hrs 20 mins / Total Time: 5 hrs 15 mins
Servings: 12 / Yield: 1 cake

Ingredients – Cake
• baking spray
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 3 large eggs, at room temperature
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup whole milk, at room temperature
Strawberry Milk
• 1 pound strawberries, hulled and quartered, plus sliced strawberries for garnish
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
• 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
• 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
• whipped topping to taste

Directions

  1. Gather all ingredients.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly spray a 13- x 9-inch baking dish with baking spray; set aside.
  3. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat eggs, sugar, and vanilla on medium speed until light, fluffy, and almost doubled in volume, about 10 minutes.
  4. Beat in half of the flour mixture on low speed until just incorporated. Gradually stream in the milk until combined, followed by the remaining flour mixture. Transfer batter to prepared baking dish.
  5. Bake in preheated oven until golden brown and a wooden skewer inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool on a wire rack in the pan for 20 minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, for the strawberry milk toss strawberries and sugar in a small bowl until fully coated, let rest at room temperature for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer to a blender and process until smooth, about 30 seconds. Strain puree through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl, discarding any pulp or seeds. Whisk together 1 cup of the strained strawberry puree (reserving any remaining for a later use), evaporated milk, condensed milk, and heavy cream into a large bowl until fully
    combined.
  7. Using a wooden skewer or the tines of a fork, poke holes all over the top of the cooled cake, and pour the strawberry milk mixture evenly over the cake. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to 12 hours.
  8. Top with a layer of whipped topping and sliced strawberries before serving.
