Directions
Apple Bourbon Cake, New York is apple country and this cake recipe is courtesy of the state’s apple growers group. I am tucking it away to make for Thanksgiving but thought I would share it in the meantime. My own version will probably include less sugar as we don’t like things quite so sweet. Please note the preparation time include an hour of soaking time., My S/O and I have made this cake 3 different times now. Each time we’ve made it for a social event, it’s been a huge hit. We use sweeter gala apples in our version. We also 1 cup of dark brown sugar and 1 cup granulated sugar for a little extra moisture and molasses flavor which works really well with the bourbon and spices. This has quickly become one of my favorite dessert recipes since we have started baking., I’ve had this recipe saved in my folder for a long time and finally decided to try it. And gotta tell ya’ll…..I don’t know why it sat there for so long without me makin it!!! This is one of the most delicious cakes I’ve ever made!!!! I didn’t add the nuts and I added more apple than it called for but that was because they needed to be used. They were from last fall so not really juicy so I decided it would be ok to add more than called for. I wasn’t sure it would turn out as moist as it could be with really juicy apples but it turned out fantastic. The marriage of bourbon, apples and the spices are perfect!!! DH loved it and he informed me he would like it with ice cream : This would be the perfect cake to serve with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream. It’s not an overly sweet cake which is another plus. We really prefer a less sweet cake and this one is perfect. Thanks for sharing Toni. I’ll be baking this one many, many times. Bet I’m gunna be a popular pot luck contributor : Just had another thought! Bet creamed cheese frosting would be good on this, too!
