Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 3/4 cups sugar -- divided

1/2 cup stick margarine -- softened

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

6 ounces block-style fat-free cream cheese -- softened (about 3/4

cup)

2 large eggs

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

3 cups chopped peeled Rome apple (about 2 large)

Cooking spray

 

Preheat oven to 350º. Beat 1 1/2 cups sugar, margarine, vanilla, and cream

cheese at medium speed of a mixer until well-blended (about 4 minutes). Add

eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine flour, baking

powder, and salt. Add flour mixture to creamed mixture, beating at low speed

until blended.

 

Combine 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon. Combine 2 tablespoons cinnamon mixture and

apple in a bowl, and stir apple mixture into batter. Pour batter into an 8-inch

springform pan coated with cooking spray, and sprinkle with remaining cinnamon

mixture.

 

Bake at 350º for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until the cake pulls away from the

sides of the pan. Cool the cake completely on a wire rack, and cut using a

serrated knife.

 

Description:

" This cake is usually served at Hanukkah. The cream cheese in the

batter gives the cake lots of moisture. Because it's so tender, use a

serrated knife for cutting. "
