Cake

1
|
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper, creating a sling for easy removal.
2
|
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and salt.
3
|
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the oil, yogurt, sugars, eggs, and vanilla.
4
|
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix to combine.
5
|
Fold the apple chunks into the batter until evenly distributed.
6
|
Pour the cake batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for about 1 hour 10 minutes - 1 hour 25 minutes, or until a tooth pick inserted comes out clean. Place aluminum foil on top of the cake half way through to prevent the top from over-browning.

Allow to cool completely before frosting.

Brown Butter Cream Cheese Frosting

1
|
To brown the butter, in a small saucepan, heat 60g of unsalted butter over medium heat for several minutes, swirling to even out the color. The butter will be ready once the fat solids have separated and darkened, and the butter is an even medium amber color. Transfer to a bowl and place in the fridge to cool and solidify before using.
2
|
Beat the cream cheese and brown butter together. Add the powdered sugar a little at a time, adding as much or as little as you would like. Beat in the vanilla. Add a tablespoon of milk until the frosting reaches the right consistency.
3
|
Frost the loaf cake once it has cooled completely.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Brown Your Butter Perfectly 🧈
    Cook butter over medium heat until it turns golden amber and smells nutty (5-7 minutes), then cool completely before mixing into cream cheese to prevent melting and ensure a silky, stable frosting.
  • Prep Apples the Smart Way 🍎
    Dice apples into small, even 1/4-inch pieces and toss with lemon juice immediately to prevent browning and ensure uniform moisture distribution throughout the batter for consistent texture.
  • Room Temperature is Non-Negotiable 🌡️
    Have cream cheese, eggs, and yogurt at room temperature before mixing to create a smooth, lump-free batter that incorporates air properly and bakes evenly.
  • Toast Your Spices First ✨
    Lightly toast the cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice in a dry skillet for 30 seconds before adding to dry ingredients to amplify their warm, complex flavors and reduce any bitter notes.
  • Cool, Then Frost Strategically 🎂
    Let the loaf cool completely to room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting into the warm cake and sliding off.
