Awesome Apple Cake

This is SO GOOD!  I was feeling crappy today and wanted something warm, sweet, and comforting- this definitely delivers!

This is a random old weight watchers recipe that’s been sitting around forever.  I happened to have all the ingredients on hand when the craving for something sweet and delicious hit, so I decided to go for it!  I haven’t gotten the chance to run it through my diet analysis software yet, so I don’t know the calorie count for it, but I do know it’s 3 pts/slice if your a weight watchers person.

I changed the recipe up for what I wanted, but I’ll give the basic recipe first then tell what I did different.

Just look at this!!!

Apple Cake

Ingredients:
2 large eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup fat free milk
2 Tablespoons butter
1 Tablespoon vanilla
1 cup self rising flour (if you don’t have any, use 1 cup regular flour and add 1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder and 1/8 teaspoon salt to it)
1 1/2 Tablespoon cornstarch
1 large apple
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon sugar

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Coat an 8-inch round cake pan with cooking spray.
2. Beat eggs and 1/2 cup of sugar in a large bowl with a mixer until light and fluffy.  Stir in milk, melted butter and vanilla extract.
3. Combine the flour and cornstarch and fold into the cake batter.  Pour mixture into the prepared pan.
4. Layer apple slices in a circular pattern on top of cake.  Combine cinnamon and sugar in a cup and sprinkle over apples.  Bake for 30-35 mins or until a knife comes out clean when inserted.  Cut into 8 pieces and serve.

What I did differently…
I used a bundt pan instead of a regular round cake pan.  I also doubled the recipe.  I layered the apple slices at the bottom of the bundt pan, then the slices that were left over I chopped up and mixed into the batter.  Then I poured the batter over the apple slices.  I also saved the cinnamon/sugar mixture until after the cake was done- then I sprinkled it over the cake after I took it out of the bundt pan.  Oh and I also put about a teaspoon of cinnamon into the cake batter as well.

This cake is delicious and you should definitely make it!  I’m sure it would be just as delish if you followed the recipe exactly.  I was in the mood to get a little crazy though!  Turned out really well, and would be super delicious with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream!
