Apple Sponge Pudding Cake
This Apple Sponge Pudding Cake has a cobbler-like cake with a caramel sauce. It’s delicious served a la mode!
It’s almost apple season and this recipe for apple pudding cake is one of my favorites! I’m not quiet about my love for baked desserts that create their own sauce. I know Chocolate Lava Cake is one of the most popular but I also crave a Butterscotch Pudding Cake and other lesser known flavors.
There’s something about a dessert that’s all made in one dish and yet it creates so many different layers, that just gets me.
This Apple Pudding Cake fits right in with that. One recipe, in one baking dish , and you end up with a cake portion, a fruit layer, apple pie fil, and a caramel sauce to spoon over the whole thing!
It’s delicious! Give it a test and just try to tell me it isn’t one of your new favorite fall dessert recipes!
How to Make Pudding Cake
The key to making a pudding cake is that you don’t just make one batter and pour it all in. You layer your ingredients in the baking dish.
It isn’t hard at all because it has a simple ingredients and method, but it is a little bit different, so I’m going to walk you through our step by step procedures.
Ingredients:
- butter
- brown sugar
- eggs, separated
- white sugar
- salt
- flour
- baking powder
- water
- vanilla extract
- Fresh apples
I used a 2 quart baking dish for my recipe but you can also use an 8×8 square pan In the bottom of your pan, add the butter and the brown sugar. Melt and cook together. I just added the two ingredients and then popped it in the preheated oven for a minute or two with medium heat just until the butter melted. Then, I removed it, stirred them together and set it aside for a couple of hours for their prep time. You could also melt it in the microwave.
To make your Pudding batter, first, separate your egg whites from your egg yolks.
Using a stand mixer , beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. You’ll know your done beating them when you lift the mixer paddle out of the bowl and the batter forms stiff peaks that don’t fall over.
In another bowl , beat egg yolks with white sugar. Add vanilla extract and stir to combine.
In a small bowl , combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the flour mixture and the water alternately to the egg yolk mixture just until combined.
Fold in the beaten egg whites.
Next it’s time to deal with the apples. This is the most time-consuming part of the recipe but also the star of the show! You want to peel and core your apples. Then, cut into large chunks.
Place your apple chunks over the brown sugar mixture in the bottom of the pan.
Then pour the batter over the apples.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. It will look golden brown on top and honestly, not all that appetizing!
But when you start serving it, that’s where the magic happens!
Scoop some of the pudding cake onto a serving dish , add ice cream or whipped topping and then go back to scoop some of the caramel sauce from the bottom!
