Apple Bundt Cake With Apple-Cream Cheese Glaze
- 1 3/4 pounds Granny smith apples, peeled and cored (4 cups shredded)
- 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 20 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (21/2 sticks)
- 1 1/4 cups light brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup apple juice, divided
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup apple liqueur (such as Berentzen brand)
- 3 ounces ounces cream cheese, softened
- 7 teaspoons confectioners' sugar
- Preheat oven to 350u0b0. Grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan.
- Cut the apples into pieces; shred using a food processor fitted with a grater attachment. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugars, milk, 1/4 cup apple juice, vanilla paste, and eggs. Gently fold the flour mixture into the butter mixture until just combined. Fold in the grated apple. Pour mixture into prepared pan.
- Bake at 350u0b0 for 60 to 65 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into center of the cake comes out clean. While cake is baking, combine remaining 1/2 cup apple juice and apple liqueur in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Simmer mixture, stirring occasionally, until reduced by about 1/4. Set aside 3 tablespoons of the apple juice mixture
- Place cake in pan on a wire rack. Pierce the surface of the cake in pan with a skewer; brush cake with the remaining apple juice reduction. Let stand 15-20 minutes. Pour the reserved 3 tablespoons of apple juice reduction over cream cheese in a small bowl; whisk until smooth. Whisk in the confectioners' sugar until smooth. Invert cake onto a serving plate and allow to cool slightly (15-20 minutes); drizzle with cream cheese mixture.
