A recipe for a moist, spiced apple bundt cake featuring fresh apples and topped with a simple brown sugar glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 3 cups peeled, cored, and diced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp recommended)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (for glaze)
  • 1 tablespoon milk (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-cup bundt pan well.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the sour cream to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the diced apples using a spatula.
  7. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan.
  8. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes before inverting it onto the rack to cool completely.
  10. While the cake cools, prepare the glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar, melted butter, and milk until smooth. Add more milk if you need a thinner consistency.
  11. Drizzle the brown sugar glaze over the cooled cake. Allow the glaze to set before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For extra apple flavor, toss the diced apples with 1 tablespoon of the flour mixture before folding them into the batter.
  • If you prefer a stronger spice flavor, increase the cinnamon to 1 1/2 teaspoons.
  • This cake keeps well at room temperature, covered, for up to three days.
