Have you made or had a cake that tastes better the next day?  Well, I am here to tell you that the Apple Walnut Cream Cheese Pound Cake gets better and better the longer it sits.

I love bundt cakes.  They are my grab and go dessert.  Even the whole cake travels well when transporting it.  That is why it is the best cake to take someone coming home from the hospital, a family meal after a funeral, and sharing with a sweet neighbor.   

It can be wrapped up smoothly without worry about heavy frosting leaking out.  In all weather conditions, Apple Walnut Cream Cheese Pound Cake is even temperate and not challenging to transport.

Apple Walnut Cream Cheese Pound Cake

Rich, moist and full of chunks of fresh apples, walnuts, cream cheese and a lot of butter with a hint of cinnamon. All the flavors of a fall dessert.
prep time: 15 minscook time: 1 hour and 30 minstotal time: 1 hours and 45 mins

ingredients

  • 4 large baking apples chopped (I used Rome apples)
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 cups butter, room temperature
  • 8 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 6 whole eggs, room temperatures
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup roughly chopped walnuts, toasted

instructions

Preheat oven 325 degrees F.  Grease and flour 10" bundt pan; set aside.  Crack eggs into a 2 cup measuring cup; set aside.

Toss chopped apples in cinnamon; set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer using the paddle attachment cream butter and cream cheese on medium speed; scrape down sides of the bowl.

Add sugar one cup at a time and beat until light and fluffy; approximately 3 minutes; scrape down sides of the bowl.  Add eggs one at a time beating after each one.  Add vanilla and mix thoroughly.

Mix flour and salt.  Add to sugar and egg mixture one cup at a time being careful not to overmix.  If there are flecks of flour showing that is ok.

If necessary, drain apples of any juices.

Remove bowl from the stand mixer using a rubber spatula fold in the cinnamon apple mixture.

Fold walnuts into the batter, scraping around the sides and stir cake batter one last time.

Pour cake batter into prepared pan.  Bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes.  I check for doneness at 1 hour and 25 minutes and bake for 5 minutes if necessary.

NOTES:

The following apples may be used in this recipe:

Granny Smith
McIntosh
Rome
Golden Delicious

Most of the time this cake takes the full 90 minutes to get done so don't think the cake is done sooner.  

I suggest peeling the apples but the cake is equally delicious without peeling them.

I always crack my eggs in a 2 quart measuring cup instead of directly into the batter to avoid eggshells slipping into the batter.
