Apple Bran Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Stir together flour, soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set aside.
• In medium mixing bowl, beat together the 1/2 cup margarine and the 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add eggs. Beat well.
• Stir in apples,All-Bran Buds cereal and flour mixture. Stir until thoroughly combined.
• Spread evenly in greased 9 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan.
• Bake at 350° F about 1 hour or until cake begins to pull away from sides of pan. Cool completely.
• Frost or dust with powdered sugar.

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Generously grease and flour a 9- or 10-inch Bundt pan.
• Mix together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside. Peel, core and dice 3 cups apples. Set aside.
• Blend the oil, sugars and vanilla in a bowl with a handheld electric mixer or in a stand mixer until well mixed. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the dry ingredients until just incorporated. The batter will be very thick. Fold in the apple pieces. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
• Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Let cool for 20 to 30 minutes, then remove the cake from the pan to a cooling rack.
• For the caramel sauce: Meanwhile, heat the caramels and milk in a saucepan on medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the caramels are completely melted and the sauce is smooth, about 2 minutes. Let cool for 1 to 2 minutes, then drizzle over the cake just before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 9x5 loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
• Into a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs and buttermilk and whisk well to combine. Add the grated apple, melted butter and vanilla and stir to mix. Add the bran cereal and let it sit for 5 minutes to absorb liquid.
• While you're waiting, in another bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Combine the all purpose flour, oat bran, cane sugar, muscavado, pecans, baking soda, baking powder, sea salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir to mix. Add the wet ingredients in with the dry and stir just to combine, do not overmix.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan, it should come up no more than 3/4 way up the pan. Sprinkle the top of the loaf with a handful of oat bran and brown or turbinado sugar. Bake on the middle rack for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean. Allow it to cool completely before removing it from the pan.
• Slice with a serrated knife and serve with butter on the side.
• Loaf can be kept covered at room temperature for 3 days or for 5 days in the fridge.

Steps:

• In a skillet, saute apples in butter until tender, about 10 minutes. Combine cereal and water in a large bowl; stir in buttermilk, eggs, sugar, raisins and apples with butter. Combine dry ingredients; stir into apple mixture just until moistened. Refrigerate in a tightly covered container for at least 24 hours (batter will be very thick). Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until muffins test done. Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack.

Steps:

• Stir together all dry ingredients except currants; add currants, tossing to coat.
• Whisk together wet ingredients; add diced apple.
• Stir wet into dry ingredients until just combined.
• Pour batter into greased 8-inch square pan and bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes or until tests done (check halfway through baking time and cover with foil if cake is browning too quickly).
• Let cool in pan for 25 minutes, then run a knife around the pan's edges and invert cake onto a wire rack.

Steps:

• Grease and line your loaf tin, and preheat the oven to 170C/fan 150C/gas 5.
• Use a cup to measure the ingredients (I use my small measuring jug featured in the photograph.)
• Pour the All bran and milk into a bowl. Leave the All Bran to soak up the milk (about 5-10 mins.)
• Add the self raising flour and sugar to your mixture and stir.
• Cut up your dried fruit (if using prunes and apricots) and dust with some of the self raising flour. Add the fruit to your mixture and stir.
• The mixture should be thick and gloopy, if it isn't you may wish to add a bit more milk. Transfer the mixture to your loaf tin and put in the oven for 1 hr -1 hr 30 mins. Check on the loaf after 1 hr by putting a knife through the middle, if it comes out clean the loaf is cooked, if not leave it in a little longer.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch pan.
• Prepare the topping by mixing together the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and chopped pecans.
• Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Beat butter and sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy; add eggs one at a time, thoroughly beating each egg into the butter mixture before adding the next. Add apple butter, vanilla, and wheat germ or bran cereal. Add sifted dry ingredients alternately with sour cream; mix well after each addition.
• Pour half the batter into the prepared pan; sprinkle with half of the topping. Pour remaining batter into pan and top with the rest of the topping.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes.
