Apple Cinnamon Pound Cake
(Photo is without icing and makes it obvious that mine didn’t come out of the pan the greatest! Oh well, it tasted good!)
Original Recipe came from the Tasty Kitchen website.
Cake:
8 oz cream cheese
3 sticks of butter
3 1/4 cups sugar, divided
6 eggs
3 cups flour
1 tablespoon vanilla
4 apples (peeled and chopped)
1/3 cup cinnamon
Icing:
8 oz cream cheese
1 stick butter
4 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
Preheat oven to 325.
To make the cake: in a mixer, cream together the cream cheese and butter. Add 3 cups of sugar and mix. Add the eggs and then the flour. Add the vanilla and mix until creamy with no lumps.
Peel and chop apples into bite size chunks. Toss apples in a bowl with the cinnamon and remaining 1/4 cup of sugar. Fold the coated apples into the cake batter, but do not stir more that 5 times.
Pour into 2 greased loaf pans or a greased and floured bundt pan. Bake for about 45 minutes for a loaf pan or 75 minutes for a bunt pan.
While cake is baking, prepare the cream cheese icing. Cream together the cream cheese and butter. Slowly mix in the powdered sugar. Add in the vanilla and mix well. Ice the cake once cooled.
The cook time may be off. The original recipe said to cook the loaf pans for 45 minutes at 300. I cooked my loaves at 300 for 1 hour and 20 minutes. Adjust to what you think would be best and keep an eye on it.
