First-of-Fall Apple Bundt Cake from Dorie's Anytime Cakes by Dorie Greenspan.
First-of-fall cake sounds like the perfect treat for crisp fall weather. Except that, here in southern California, the first day of fall was 100 degrees. Our summer really happens in September and October. Just the thought of baking a large cake in that kind of weather wore me out before I even began.
Luckily, there were a few days of reprieve from the relentless heat, so I decided to give the cake a try, but on a smaller scale. Based on the number of eggs, I made a third of the recipe, and it actually turned out well. I also reduced the baking time to about 23 minutes. I ended up with four small bundt cakes, each one moist and flavorful.
There were two kinds of apples in my refrigerator: one Granny Smith and two ambrosias. After reading Dorie's note, I chose one of the ambrosias, which added a bit more sweetness. And, because there were only four small cakes, I chose to just dust them with powdered sugar.
These were lovely and delicious cakes that I would definitely make again.
