Ninja Foodi Recipe ~ Apple Cake with Caramel Glaze

[@7heRedBaron]

Phenomenal cake. It really was worth the time and effort to lay out the apples in that pattern. I’ve been having the same issues baking cakes under pressure. One rose up so high it touched the lid, and I was really uncomfortable with that for safety. So I split the recipe like you did. But I just do them one layer at a time. I don’t have dual pans like those that stack. My question is: would you ever use the slow cooker function to bake? I’ve made Crockpot cakes before with great results, but not in the Ninja (yet). Cornbread is great in the Ninja because it rises up under pressure more than in the oven, but it has enough consistency not sink as it cools. In the 8 qt. Ninja, I guess you could bake anything you want because it’s so tall.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

7heRedBaron Thanks so much for watching! I have never tried a cake in the slow cooker. 🤔 I will have to look into that! I would love to try your cornbread recipe! I just made some the other night in the Foodi that was dense and horrible. I’m sure it was the recipe’s fault, but it didn’t rise at all!

[@7heRedBaron]

I just use a box mix for cornbread. But I try to whip the eggs up to soft peaks with a hand mixer before adding the dry and the milk. Then after adding the dry I whip the whole thing together another 3 or 4 minutes until it’s almost over the rim of the mixing bowl. All that extra air just expands as that heat in the pressure cooker gets to it. Plus I think the air conducts the heat into the center of the whole thing better than the thick batter alone. When done baking it’s necessary to let cool about 5 minutes before taking out of the pan. In that time it will pull away from the sides so it won’t stick there. Without the cooling it will just crumble apart it’s so light.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

7heRedBaron great tips! I will try this next time I “try” to make cornbread! 😁

[@leslieslass]

@@TheSaltedPepper What is cornbread ?. Sorry for sounding dumb, but I'm not American .We don't have that here in the UK. I've never seen it in Scotland anyway.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

@@leslieslass Cornbread is a quick bread made from cornmeal.

Ohhhh MY!!!!! So I bought a NF to use in my RV. Every time I tried to use it I would throw the breaker. I put it back in the box. Well I’m permanent now on a property with access to a full kitchen. To be honest I was very apprehensive about using it because I lost the instruction in my travels. I pulled it out a week ago today. I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS MACHINE!!!! While watching this video I wondered could I do a Pineapple Upside Down Cake! Imma experiment this week! Thank you for teaching me! I must must must purchase another one to use side by side!

Thank you for the awesome cake recipe! Helpful hint, when you set the temp if you hold the button down it will jump 10 degrees so it's easier to raise or lower the numbers.

Just discovered your site and very interested on this style of food prep. My husband is getting me a ninja foodie 6 quart for Christmas. He has already put his first order in, your Cottage pie ! I am a senior woman and a traditional cook, oven and stovetop, so this will be a learning experience and I look forward to your recipes suggestions. Thanks, Linda in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada

[@TheSaltedPepper]

It's been a learning experience for me too! My style of cooking was always stove and oven.

[@philomenadacunha6546]

Linda Dainard I just bought the 8qt at Bed Bath & Beyond they go for $269.99 and they’re on sale for $199.99 plus with a 20% coupon I ended up paying $159.99 now that’s a total of $110.00 savings. The 6.5qt is not on sale and is selling for $199.99 something to think about.

[@pennywebb9324]

Go ahead and LOL now. I made this cake and it turned out great even though I did most everything wrong. I didn't have my Fat Daddio pans yet so I did have an 8 x 3 inch one. You had said that your ceramic bowl didn't work, so I thought if I had a bundt pan it might. Didn't have one.....so I grabbed the small glass that dried beef comes in (all batter was now in pan) and buttered the outside of glass, pushed it down with the hole still on top, covered the cake with foil and set the time on HI pressure to 50 minutes and let it go 30 minutes without releasing pressure. It was beautiful. Next time I might shorten time to 45 minutes. I have a wire adjustable cake slicer so I sliced it in half and proceeded like I had two cakes. I did the caramel on my gas stove in a heavy pot because I am impatient. It was wonderful also. I will continue using this pan and glass even if I do get a bundt pan or the two from FD.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

I'm so glad it all worked out! This cake is one of my favorites!

[@1943sumrallgirl]

Is it ok to bake a single-layer cake in the large Ninja pan? I didn’t think about trying that when I baked a cake in a small pan on the rack, but I needed to microwave a mug cake with the leftover batter. Also, do we have to fill the bottom with water to bake something? Thanks.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

You don't need water to bake, but sometimes adding water for a little steam is good for certain recipes. You can do a single layered cake, but you don't want it too deep or you will have trouble getting the center cooked through.

[@carolvoss5225]

I would like to try this recipe in the oven, any suggestions?

Applesauce instead of oil makes cake very moist!

[@amandadaniels6303]

In the uk I can’t get all purpose flour unless I order it from an American food shop in London and it’s quite expensive to keep doing it that way. Can u suggest what we should use instead please. I made this cake and all the family loved it. I love your videos as they are so easy to follow.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Thank you so much! From what I understand, all purpose flour in the states is referred to as plain flour in the UK. Hope that helps.

[@joaniehowse1881]

All purpose flour over here in the UK is Plain Flour.

[@clarencemartin57]

I made your apple Caramel and it sort of worked. My cake pans were too large and barely fit into the Foodi, so this was my fault. The apple topping did not hold together, maybe I didn't let it cool long enough. The bottom cake was too moist, maybe because the pans were too large. I put the cakes in the oven to make them a littler firmer. Otherwise, the cake did come out good and they tasted great. I will be trying to make the again.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Clarence Martin I’m sorry you did t have total success, but I’m glad you liked it! It is a very moist and dense cake. I’m not sure why the apple topping didn’t hold together

Thank you.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

You can switch to metric measurements in the written recipe card. Melted butter will act differently in the cake, I would use avocado oil instead. The pan grease is equal parts shortening and flour and 1/2 as much oil. Blend together in mixer.
