APPLE CAKE – Easy Recipes

INGREDIENTS

Apple Cake

3 cups all purpose flour

1 ½ teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon cinnamon

½ teaspoon ground cloves

½ teaspoon nutmeg

1 ½ cups vegetable oil

2 cups brown sugar

3 large eggs room temperature

1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

4 large Honeycrisp apples peeled cored and chunked

1 cup chopped pecans

Caramel Drizzle

1/2 cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons butter

1/4 cup heavy cream

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ground cloves, and nutmeg. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract.

Add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients in 3 intervals stirring just until combined. Add the apples and pecans, stirring just until mixed. Spoon the cake batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes before inverting.

In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the butter, brown sugar, and cream. Bring to a boil while stirring to dissolve the sugar. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Drizzle over the warm cake.

Notes

Peel, core, and cut your apples into chunks for bite-size pieces of apple with just a little bit of that great apple texture left after baking.

Grease and flour your bundt pan well. I like to use Baker’s Joy, but flour and butter work well too.

Because of the chunks of apple in this delicious cake, intricate bundt pans do not work very well, but a standard bundt pan works like a dream.

This cake is one of those recipes that tastes even better when made a day in advance. Let it cool completely before covering it and storing it in a cool section of the kitchen.
