How to make a apple bundt cake!

Preheat the oven to 350 degree and grease a Bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray.


In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients... flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.



In a separate bowl, beat together the butter, sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.



Add the eggs, one at a time, beating between each addition.


Beat in the vanilla extract.



Add the flour mixture and mix to combine.



Fold in the shredded apples.



Spread the batter evenly in the prepared bundt pan and bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use any type of apples for the cake?

Yes, you can use a variety of apples for the cake. Granny Smith apples are often recommended for their tartness and firm texture, but you can also use sweeter varieties like Honeycrisp,Fuji, or Gala apples for a different flavor profile. Just pick one of your favorite apples.

Do I need to peel the apples before adding them to the cake batter?

It's generally recommended to peel the apples before adding them to the cake batter. The peel can affect the texture of the cake, and peeling the apples also ensures a smoother consistency.

Can I substitute oil for butter in this recipe?

Yes, you can typically substitute oil for butter in a cake recipe. However, keep in mind that butter adds flavor while oil provides moisture. Depending on the type of oil you use, the flavor and texture of the cake might vary slightly.

What spices work best with an apple bundt cake?

Cinnamon is a classic spice that pairs wonderfully with apple desserts. Nutmeg, cloves, and allspice are also commonly used to enhance the warm, cozy flavors of the cake.

Can I make this cake ahead of time?

Yes, you can make the cake ahead of time. It's often recommended to bake the cake and let it cool completely before storing it. You can wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store it at room temperature for a day or two. Alternatively, you can freeze the cake for longer storage.



How to Store and Freeze Apple Bundt Cake

Keep the cake fresh by storing it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days, or in the refrigerator for a maximum of 5 days.


To freeze (for up to 3 months), either store the entire cake (without the glaze) or individual slices in an airtight container or a freezer-safe sealable plastic bag.


When it's time to defrost, transfer the cake from the freezer to the refrigerator the night before and let it reach room temperature before enjoying. At this point you can add the glaze.
