Introduction

I bake my family-favorite fall cake to usher in this abundant season. It looks so luscious that eating one piece is nearly impossible. I bake my family-favorite fall cake to usher in this abundant season. It looks so luscious that eating one piece is nearly impossible.

Ingredients

    1 package (8 ounces) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese (softened or cubed), softened
    2 cups sugar, divided
    4 eggs
    1 cup canola oil
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    2 teaspoons baking powder
    2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon baking soda
    2 cups chopped peeled tart apples
    1 cup shredded carrots
    1/2 cup chopped pecans

    PRALINE ICING:
    1/2 cup packed brown sugar
    1/4 cup butter, cubed
    2 tablespoons 2% milk
    1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted

Directions

In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and 1/4 cup sugar until smooth. Beat in 1 egg; set aside.
In a large bowl, beat oil with remaining sugar and eggs until well blended. Combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and baking soda; gradually beat into oil mixture until blended. Stir in the apples, carrots and pecans.
Transfer half of the apple batter to a greased and floured 10-in. fluted tube pan; layer with cream cheese mixture and remaining apple batter.
Bake at 350° for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
In a large saucepan, bring the brown sugar, butter and milk to a boil. Cook and stir for 1 minute. Remove from the heat; whisk in confectioners' sugar and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over cake. Sprinkle with pecans.
