Do you like to eat a small piece of cake and feel satisfied? This is the cake to try!!!! It is so rich, creamy, mildly sweet, filled with apples. Adding the cranberry cheese gives it a slight tangy flavor from the cranberry which balances out the sweetness from the sugar. During christmas got to taste the Wensleydale Creamery cheese in our local grocery store. Loved this cheese as it was very creamy, firm and slightly sweet. So bought a big bar of the cheese and have frozen it. Tried the recipe from their website with a lil modification to replace egg and multi-grain flour.
Ingredients
butter 1 stick or 1/2 cup
brown sugar 3/4 cup + 3 tbsp
thick curds/sour cream 1/4 cup
egg 1
milk 3 tbsp
multigrain flour / all-purpose flour 3/4 cup
baking powder 1/2 tsp
apple 2 sliced and cored
cranberries cheese 1/2 cup
Method
Preheat the oven to 325°F.
Grease a baking pan and dust with flour.
Cut 3/4 of the sliced apples in to small pieces.
Cream together the butter and 3/4 cup of brown sugar.
Add the thick yogurt/sour cream, beat in the milk and flour.
Fold in small pieces of apples and crumble over the cranberries cheese.
Pour the mixture into the baking pan.
Arrange the rest of the apple on top and sprinkle with 3 tbsp of brown sugar.
Bake for 55 minutes until risen and golden brown.
Let cool in the baking pan.
Slice and enjoy !!
Note: This cake can be made eggless buy replacing the egg with ¼ cup of thick curds or sour cream.
This can be made like an upside down cake as well. For this grease the baking pan, arrange apple slices, sprinkle brown sugar, and put the batter over the apples. Once it is bake turn baking dish on to a plate to transfer the cake from the baking dish. Top will have lovely caramelized layer of apples.
