About the Recipe

​

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, softened

  • 1 cup packed brown sugar

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

  • 2 1/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 4 teaspoons ground cinnamon

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

  • 1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream

  • 3 medium Granny Smith apples, cored, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch pieces

  • 1 container (8 ounces) Crave Brothers Farmstead Classics® Mascarpone cheese, divided

  • 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

Vanilla Glaze:

  • 2/3 cup confectioners' sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 teaspoon milk

  • Chopped walnuts, optional

Preparation

  1. Heat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 10-inch (about 12 cups) fluted tube pan.

  2. Cream butter and brown sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating each until well combined. Beat in vanilla.

  3. Sift the 2 1/4 cups flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves in another large bowl; gradually add to butter mixture alternately with the sour cream, beating each addition until combined. Fold in apples.

  4. Spoon half of the batter into prepared pan.

  5. Set aside 2 tablespoons mascarpone. Combine the confectioners' sugar, remaining flour and mascarpone in a small bowl; spoon evenly over batter. Dollop with remaining batter. Swirl batter with a knife.

  6. Bake for 55-60 minute or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes in pan before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Glaze:

Combine the confectioners' sugar, vanilla, milk and reserved mascarpone in microwave-safe bowl; microwave on high, whisking every 20 seconds until smooth. Drizzle glaze over the cake. Sprinkle with walnuts if desired.
