Total Time: 1 hrs 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups biscuit mix
- 1 cup apples, diced
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1/4 cup orange marmalade
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the biscuit mix and sugar. Stir until well mixed. This will form the base of your cake.
- Add the diced apples, crumbled bacon, and cinnamon to the biscuit mixture. Gently fold these ingredients in until evenly distributed throughout the dry mixture.
- In a separate bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese and orange marmalade. Mix until smooth and well blended. This will be your creamy topping.
- Pour in the caramel sauce into the biscuit mixture and stir until everything is well combined. The mixture should be thick but pourable.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly. Use a spatula to smooth the top if necessary.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully remove it from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake is cooling, prepare the mascarpone topping. If desired, you can whip the mascarpone mixture for a lighter texture.
- Once the cake has cooled, spread the mascarpone and marmalade mixture generously on top of the cake.
- Drizzle additional caramel sauce over the mascarpone topping for extra sweetness and decoration.
- Slice the cake into 8 servings and serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy your Nutty Caramel Apple Bacon Biscuit Cake with Marmalade Mascarpone!
Tips
- For extra crispy bacon, pre-cook it until it's perfectly crunchy before crumbling into the batter.
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smoother mixing and better cake texture.
- Don't overmix the batter—gently fold ingredients to keep the cake light and fluffy.
- Check the cake's doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
- For a more intense caramel flavor, consider using a high-quality salted caramel sauce.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before adding the mascarpone topping to prevent melting.
- Serve slightly chilled for the best flavor and texture combination.
