- 1 Banana mashed, ripe
- 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil
- 2.5 tbsp Honey
- 3/4 cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/4 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon ground
- 1/4 tsp Nutmeg for added warmth, ground, optional
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 cup Walnuts chopped
- 1/3 cup Chocolate Chips
For the Cream Cheese Filling
- 100 gm Cream Cheese softened
- 1 tbsp Butter softened, unsalted
- 1/3 cup Sugar granulated
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 tsp Corn Flour
Instructions
Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling
- Beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy. Add the sugar and vanilla extract, beating until well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Stir in the cornstarch until fully incorporated.
- Transfer the cream cheese mixture to a piping bag or zip-top bag with a corner snipped off and set aside.
Prepare the Cake Batter
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a bundt pan.
- In a blender, combine the chopped apple, mashed banana, honey, and oil. Blend until you have a smooth paste.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and salt.
- Add the walnuts and chocolate chips to the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Assemble and Bake
- Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared bundt pan.
- Pipe dollops of the cream cheese filling over the batter.
- Pour the remaining cake batter over the cream cheese filling.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional Finishing Touches
- Once cooled, you can drizzle melted chocolate over the cake for an extra decadent touch. You may also dust with powdered sugar or add sprinkles.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Best Apple Honey Cream Cheese Swirl Cake
- For a more intense apple flavor, use a tart apple variety such as Granny Smith or Braeburn.
- Ensure all ingredients, especially the cream cheese and butter, are at room temperature for optimal blending and a smooth, creamy texture.
- Don't overmix the cake batter; overmixing can result in a tough cake. Mix until just combined.
- Let the cake cool completely before inverting it onto a wire rack. This prevents the cake from breaking.
