From the Test Kitchen

This delectable dessert—featuring sweet, crisp apple—gets an umami lift from a touch of miso paste that we're stirring into caramel and cream before drizzling over the cake.

ingredients

1 Pasture-Raised Egg
1 Apple
1 Tbsp Sweet White Miso Paste
1 cup All-Purpose Flour
1 tsp Baking Powder
½ cup Sugar
½ cup Cream
1 Tbsp Light Brown Sugar
¼ cup Caramel Shards
2 oz Salted Butter

step-by-step

instructions

1 Prepare the apple

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven, then preheat to 350°F. Wash and dry the apple; quarter, core, and thinly slice lengthwise, ensuring all slices are the same size.

2 Make the batter

In a bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Place the butter in a large bowl and microwave on high until melted (or melt in a small pot on the stove, then transfer to a large bowl). Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, and half the cream (shaking the packet before opening). Whisk to combine. Add the dry ingredients to the bowl of wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Add the sliced apple and stir to thoroughly coat.

3 Bake the cake

Lightly grease a loaf pan. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and spread in an even layer, ensuring the apples and batter are evenly dispersed, the apples are laying flat, and that any apples at the top of the cake are covered with batter. Bake 35 minutes, or until lightly browned and cooked through. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool about 20 minutes, or until room temperature.

4 Make the miso caramel & serve your dish

Once the cake is cool, in a small pot, combine the caramel shards, remaining cream, and half the miso paste (you will have extra). Cook on medium, stirring constantly, 4 to 6 minutes, or until the caramel has dissolved and the mixture is thickened. Turn off the heat. Serve the cooled cake drizzled with the miso caramel. Enjoy!
