Apple Cinnamon Pound Cake
- FOR THE CAKE:
- 8 ounces, weight Cream Cheese
- 3 sticks Margarine
- 3-1/4 cups Sugar, Divided
- 6 whole Eggs
- 3 cups Flour
- 1 Tablespoon Vanilla
- 4 whole Apples, Peeled And Chopped
- 1/3 cups Ground Cinnamon
- _____
- FOR THE ICING:
- 8 ounces, weight Cream Cheese
- 1 stick Margarine
- 4 cups Powdered Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees for a bundt cake, or 300 degrees for a loaf.
- To make the cake, in a mixer, cream together the cream cheese and margarine. Add 3 cups of sugar, then eggs, then flour. Add the vanilla and beat until creamy with no lumps.
- Skin and chop apples into bite-sized chunks. Toss apples in a bowl with the cinnamon and remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Fold the coated apples into the pound cake batter, but do not stir more than about 5 times.
- Pour in 2 greased and lined loaf pans, or a greased and floured bundt pan. Bake for about 45 minutes for a loaf pan, or 75 minutes for a bundt pan (to check: stick a toothpick in and if it comes out clean, it's done).
- While cake is baking, prepare the cream cheese frosting. Cream together cream cheese and margarine. Slowly mix in powdered sugar until creamy. Dash in 1 teaspoon of vanilla and ice the cooled cake, or melt the icing for 10 seconds and drizzle over the cake.
