Brown Sugar Penuche Cake
Ingredients
- 12 ounces (340 grams) brown sugar-1 ½ cups
- 5 ¾ ounces (163 grams) granulated sugar-generous ¾ cup
- 2 ounces (57 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- 4 ounces weight (113 grams) vegetable oil- ½ cup
- 2 large eggs plus 3 large yolks
- 14 ounces (396 grams) all-purpose/plain flour-2 ¾ cup
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 8 ounces (wt.) sour cream
- ¾ cup whole milk (6 ounces vol./0.18 grams)
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F (177 C) and spray three 8-inch (20 cm) round cake pans with Baker’s Joy or grease and flour.
- Beat brown sugar, sugar, butter and oil on medium-high speed for 2 minutes. Add eggs one at a time and then beat for 1 minute. Sprinkle in dry ingredients and mix on low until moistened. Add sour cream, milk and vanilla and stir on low to combine then increase speed to medium and beat for 1 minute.
- Pour batter evenly into prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a tester comes out clean. Rotate pans half way through baking time. Cool 10 minutes in pan and then turn out to a cooling rack. Cool completely if using immediately, or wrap in two layers of plastic wrap if using later.
I filled it with cooked frosting from here http://leelabeanbakes.com/blog/frosting-filling/even-better-cooked-... and substituted the sugar with light brown sugar. I didn't end up using the whole thing. Also took about 1 lb of apples (I used macoun) with about 2 TB of butter & 1/3 cup of sugar and cooked them until very tender. I then filled cake with a layer of the frosting and a thin layer of the apples.
I used caramel SMBC but you can use anything you want. It is delicious. If you prefer to use the filling & frosting that is listed on the cake recipe, here is the link http://www.cakepaperparty.com/2014/05/brown-sugar-penuche-cake/

It is really good. Also, the penuche filling that is included with the cake recipe http://www.cakepaperparty.com/2014/05/brown-sugar-penuche-cake/ is really delicious on chocolate cake. I used to make it and use it as a frosting for chocolate cake but it is pretty sweet.
