I am bored, it's cold outside and I am procrastinating going out and shoveling the damned drive-way. The obvious solution is to bake a cake.

So spiced apple cake cook-along :-)

3 cups all purpose flour
1 tea spoon baking powder

1 1/2 tea spoon cinnamon
1/2 tea spoon Chinese 5 spices
1 tea spoon vanilla extract

tastes good. I might use more cinnamon next time, but that might be because mine is getting old and less tasty. And I like the apple skins but I guess the difference in the chewy texture would annoy some people?

Huh, you're adding sour cream to the cake. How is the consistency? I might want to try that for my next variation of sponge cake.

>> No.5178617

>>5178597
It's dense but not too dense? Not springy like what I think of as sponge cake. Plus that and the lemon juice gives a nice lighter note to the cake and helps activate the baking powder.

I like dense sponge cakes, I have an apple cake recipe this one reminds me of a bit. I think I want to try to substitute the milk in that one for sour cream and see if I can play around a little with the other ingredients to make it work. Hopefully it'll make the cake a little bit heavier and juicier without going over the top.

I don't think that would work well in combination with the dense cake base.
Plus the cinnamon sugar on top melts and turns to a tasty caramel which i quite like.

Thanks for the recipe, OP! I was pretty bored today and had most of the ingredients so I gave it a shot.

It's really tasty. My oven's pretty terrible so I left it in for longer and it still turned out a little mushy in places, but it's dense without being too dense.
