Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (200g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1 cup (240ml) vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Other Ingredients

  • 3 medium apples (about 3 cups or 375g), peeled, cored, and diced

Glaze

  • 1 cup (125g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 2–3 tablespoons (30-45ml) milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your bundt pan thoroughly using a combination of butter and flour to prevent sticking. Alternatively, use nonstick spray for a quicker option.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until well combined, ensuring the spices are evenly distributed.
  3. Combine the Wet Stuff: In another bowl, beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract to infuse rich flavor.
  4. Bring It All Together: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined to avoid a dense cake. Gently fold in the diced apples with a spatula, ensuring they are evenly incorporated.
  5. Bake It Up: Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top gently. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The kitchen will be filled with a wonderful apple and spice aroma.
  6. Cool and Glaze: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely. For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake for a sweet finishing touch, or enjoy the cake plain.

Notes

  • Ensure apples are peeled and diced small for even distribution and texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter once combining wet and dry ingredients to keep the cake tender.
  • If you prefer, use nonstick spray instead of butter and flour to grease the pan.
  • The glaze is optional but adds a lovely sweetness and visual appeal.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
