Whole Wheat Apple Cake Recipes

WHOLE WHEAT APPLE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Beat eggs, 3/4 cup sugar, coconut oil, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until creamy.
• Mix whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, and ginger together in a separate bowl.
• Mash bananas in a small bowl until creamy. Add to the egg mixture and beat well. Add flour mixture and beat well. Add walnuts, cranberries, and raisins; mix again. Add apple chunks and mix with a spatula until coated with batter.
• Scoop batter into the prepared pan and pat down with the spatula, filling in any gaps. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar on top for a rich finish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour.

WHOLE-WHEAT APPLE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine the apples, 1/2 cup light-brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground cloves, and set aside. Sift together the flours, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl, and set aside. Butter a 9-inch spring-form pan, and set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, until well combined. Add the vanilla extract, and combine. Add the reserved flour mixture and yogurt, and stir just until well combined. Fold in 2/3 of the reserved apple mixture. Spoon half the batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle remaining apples evenly over batter. Top with remaining batter, and smooth with a spatula. Sprinkle top with remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar. Bake until golden brown and a cake tester comes out clean, 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 20 minutes. Cover with foil after 45 minutes of baking. Cool 20 minutes before releasing from the pan.

APPLESAUCE WHOLE WHEAT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 F.
• Lightly grease a 6" cake pan. Use a 9" cake pan for double the recipe.
• In a medium sized bowl mix or whisk together all the dry ingredients; wheat flour, baking soda, salt, baking powder, cinnamon and cloves until well blended.
• In a large bowl, cream together sugar and butter.
• Add the eggs and beat well.
• Fold in dry ingredients alternating with applesauce. Fold or mix until just combined and do not over beat.
• Stir in raisins and walnuts until just mixed.
• Pour the batter into a prepared pan and bake until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 - 50 minutes. It took 37-38 minutes in my oven. In mini loaf pans bake time was 35 minutes.
• Let the cake cool for 10 minutes in the pan, turn the cake onto a cooling rack and let cool completely.
• Dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar and serve. If you are like me, eat it as is.
• Store the cake in a covered container at room temperature for 3 days or freeze it upto 3 months.
