Various Apple Cakes

The Double Apple Bundt cake was selected for Tuesdays with Dorie this week and what lovely timing. I made this last Saturday after returning from apple picking with friends. I left the cake in the oven with my friend's looking after it as I headed out to pick up other folks. Courtney reported that the cake was done before the minimum baking time. We had a dessert sampling of apple treats that evening and I wasn't in love with the cake. I found it a little dry. That may have been the apple cider cocktails talking but none the less not a favorite. And I didn't take a picture. Check out Lynne of Honey Muffin to try your hand at the recipe.

That experience had me wanting to try one of my favorite apple cakes- a recipe from the Smitten Kitchen. The apples are layered instead of mixed throughout and the cake itself isn't cinnamon but a nice light orange flavor. It is usually made in a bundt or tube pan but I tried loaf pans instead thinking it would be easier. Well I didn't let one of them cook through enough and it was a little doughy in the middle. I sent the good slices off with my mom for a birthday treat and ate the under done part myself (toasted, with ice cream). I also took a crappy photo of it. the end.
