I've made this cake a few times now and nobody can believe it is low fat! YUMMY!
Cake: 1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts 2 large eggs 2 cups sugar 6 tablespoons canola or corn oil (or combination of walnut and canola oil) 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves 3 cups peeled, diced tart apples 1/2 cup cold strong coffee
Brown Sugar-Cinnamon Glaze: 1 cup packed dark brown sugar 2 teaspoons cornstarch 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 cup water 2 teaspoons unsalted butter 3 teaspoons vanilla -Preheat oven to 350 F. Coat a 10-inch tube or Bundt pan with nonstick spray. Sprinkle the walnuts evenly around the bottom of the pan.
- In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat the eggs until light and fluffy. Add the sugar, oil, and vanilla and beat until thick and frothy.
- In a medium bowl, stir the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves together until well mixed. Stir the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until well blended.
- Stir the diced apples and coffee until well mixed. Turn the mixture into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 60 to 65 minutes, or until the center of the cake feels firm when touched. Let stand 5 minutes in the pan. Then loosen the edges and turn the cake onto a plate.
- Meanwhile, in a 2-quart saucepan, combine the brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and water. Stir and heat to boiling. Boil 30 seconds, stirring, then remove from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla.
- Pour the hot glaze over the cake
