Equipment

Ingredients
 
 

Caramel Filling and Drizzle

  • ¾ cup Cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 can Dulce de Leche (13.4 ounce can)

Cake Batter

  • 2 Cups All-Purpose flour
  • 1 Cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 10 Tablespoons Butter, room temperature (5 ounces)
  • 2 Large Eggs, room temperature
  • 2 Large Egg yolks, room temperature
  • 1 Cup Sour Cream, room temperature (8 ounces)
  • 2 Medium Apples Peeled and chopped into ⅓" cubes (approximately 1 ¼ cups)

Instructions
 

  • Prepare a 9" or 10" Bundt pan by generously spraying the inside with non-stick baking spray or melted butter. Lightly dust with flour.

Filling and Drizzle

  • Mix together cream cheese and sweetened dulce de leche until well combined and no lumps remain.
  • Set aside ½ cup of the mixture. This is used to drizzle over the cake after it has finished baking.
  • Spoon mixture into a piping bag. Set aside.

Cake Batter

  • Preheat oven to 325°.
  • Combine eggs, yolks and sour cream in a small bowl and mix to combine. Set aside.
  • Add sugar, flour, baking powder, cinnamon and baking soda in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix for one minute on low speed to combine ingredients. Note: a hand mixer may also be used.
  • Add softened butter and mix on low speed for 3 minutes.
  • Add half of the egg/sour cream mixture to the mixing bowl and combine on low speed for one minute. Scrap sides of bowl.
  • Add remaining egg/sour cream mixture to the mixing bowl and combine on low speed for one minute. Scrape sides of bowl and mix on low speed for another minute.
  • Add the chopped apples to the cake batter. Stir in by hand until well distributed.
  • Add ½ of the cake batter to the prepared pan and smooth with a rubber spatula. Use the back of a spoon to create a tunnel in the batter.
  • Pipe the cream cheese / dulce de leche mixture into the tunnel you just created. Take care to keep the mixture away from the sides of the pan.
  • Add the remaining cake batter to the pan. Smooth gently with an rubber spatula.
  • Bake for 50 minutes at 325° or until top is quite brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Remove pan from oven and cool upright for 15 minutes.
  • Flip pan upside down onto a cooling rack and let cool completely. Remove pan - cake should release from pan on its own. If not, use blunt knife and gently loosen sides.

Drizzle

  • Place the reserved ½ cup of dulce de leche/cream cheese mixture in piping bag. Drizzle over the top of the cake.
