For a great combination of baking apple; use Granny Smith apples with Braeburn apples, or Northern Spies apples with Newtown apples or all apples together.

Pan size: 3 - 9 inch round cake pans or 9 inch spring form pans
Temp: 350°F degrees
Baking time: 25 minutes, chill 1 hour before serving
Servings: 12 to 15

Apple Carrot Cake with Goat Cheese Frosting

2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup vegetable oil
4 large eggs plus 1 egg yolk, lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups grated carrots
1 1/2 cups coarsely grated tart apples, such as Granny Smith - about 3 apples
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts, plus more for garnish
10 ounce fresh, goat cheese at room temperature
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups powdered sugar

1. Preheat oven. Grease round cake pans or 3 - 9 inch spring form pans and set aside. In a large bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, spices, cocoa, pepper, and salt. Whisk to combine, then stir in oil and eggs. Stir in carrots, apples, and 1 cup walnuts.

2. Divide batter among pans and bake until cakes pull away from pan sides and a cake tester inserted in each center comes out clean, 25 minutes. Transfer apple carrot cakes to cooling racks and let cool 10 minutes. Turn out the apple carrot cakes onto a baking rack and let cool completely.

3. Beat goat cheese, cream cheese, butter, and vanilla until smooth and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Gradually add powdered sugar and mix until combined.

4. Once apple carrot cakes are cool, arrange first layer on a large plate or platter. Spread some goat cheese frosting over it, then top with second layer. Frost second layer and top with the third. Generously frost top and sides of apple carrot cake with remaining frosting. Chill cake at least 1 hour. Before serving, press walnuts lightly into sides of cake.
