Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 3/4 cup All-Purpose Flour also known as maida
- 1/4 cup Bran Flour
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon ground
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Butter softened, unsalted
- 1/2 cup Sugar granulated
- 1 tbsp Sugar packed, brown
- 1 Large Egg
- 2 tbsp Canola Oil
- 1 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 1/2 cup Apple peeled, and chopped, cored
- 1/2 cup Walnuts chopped
Vanilla Glaze
- 1/2 cup Sugar powdered
- 1-2 tbsp Milk add more for desired consistency
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
Instructions
Preheat Oven and Prep Apples
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Toss chopped apples with 1 tablespoon of brown sugar and set aside.
Combine Dry Ingredients
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, bran flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
Cream Butter and Sugar
- In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and remaining brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, canola oil, and vanilla extract.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in Apples and Walnuts
- Gently fold in the prepared apples and walnuts.
Bake the Loaf
- Grease and flour a mini loaf pan (approximately 8x4 inches). Pour batter into the prepared pan, and top with remaining apple and walnut pieces.
Baking Time
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Make the Vanilla Glaze
- While the cake cools, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Add more milk, if needed, to reach desired consistency.
Glaze and Serve
- Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the vanilla glaze over the top and slice to serve.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Mini Bran Loaf Cake:
- For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of regular butter.
- Don't overmix the batter, as this can lead to a tough cake.
- If you don't have a mini loaf pan, you can bake this recipe in a regular loaf pan, adjusting the baking time accordingly. Check for doneness with a toothpick or cake tester.
- For extra sweetness and texture, consider adding raisins or chopped pecans along with or instead of walnuts.
