John's Three-Layer Apple Cake


From: Martha Stewart Weddings
 
Imagine those caramel apples you loved as a kid, now all grown up and baked into a cake. Stacks up well, doesn't it? Try this cake, courtesy of John Barricelli, host of "Everyday Baking."

Ingredients

For the buttercream

    4 large egg whites
    1 cup packed light-brown sugar
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, cut into pieces

For the cake

    1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted, plus more for pans
    2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for pans
    2 teaspoons baking soda
    1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
    1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
    3/4 teaspoon salt
    2 cups packed light-brown sugar
    2 large eggs
    4 Granny Smith apples, peeled, two coarsely grated and two diced

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter three 8-inch-round cake pans; line bottoms with parchment paper. Butter, then flour paper and sides (tapping out excess); set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, and salt; set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together butter, sugar, and eggs until well combined; fold in grated and diced apples. Add flour mixture; mix just until combined. Divide batter among prepared pans; smooth tops.

Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool cakes in pans 20 minutes, then invert onto wire racks; peel off parchment. Invert cakes again, and let cool completely on racks.



Make buttercream: 

In a heatproof bowl set over (not in) a pan of simmering water, whisk together egg whites, sugar, and salt until sugar has dissolved; remove from heat. Using an electric mixer on medium, beat mixture until fluffy and cooled, about 15 minutes. Increase to high; beat until stiff peaks form. Reduce to medium-low; gradually add butter, beating until fully incorporated, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Assemble cake: 

Place one layer on a serving plate; spread top with buttercream. Top with another layer; spread top with buttercream. Top with third layer; spread remaining buttercream over top and sides of cake. Refrigerate at least 1 hour (or up to 4 days). To serve, bring cake to room temperature; slice with a serrated knife.



Cook's Notes

You can also bake the cake in a 13-by-9-inch pan; the baking time will be about the same. Also, if the buttercream separates, continue beating -- it will come together.
