Ingredients:
"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." INGREDIENTS 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) (OR Cortland, etc). Cooking spray
Directions:
INSTRUCTIONSPreheat oven to 350 degrees. (325 F for dark pans). 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 for about 1 hour 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.
