Description
A moist Bundt cake combining the flavors of apple pie with a simple cake structure.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup finely diced apples (such as Granny Smith)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar (for topping)
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-cup Bundt pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- In a small bowl, toss the diced apples with cinnamon and nutmeg. Gently fold the spiced apples into the cake batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan.
- In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and pecans (if using). Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the batter.
- Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted near the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- You can use a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk to drizzle over the cooled cake if desired.
- Ensure your apples are peeled and diced small so they distribute evenly in the batter.
