Ingredients
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups peeled and diced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp preferred)
½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Powdered sugar or glaze for topping (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 10–12 cup bundt pan with butter and flour or nonstick baking spray.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until evenly combined.
3. In a separate large bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
4. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing just until combined—don’t overmix.
5. Fold in the diced apples and optional nuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
7. Bake for 55–65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15–20 minutes, then carefully invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Once cool, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with glaze before slicing and serving.
Notes
Make sure the apples are evenly diced to prevent dense, uneven baking.
Let the cake cool completely before glazing or slicing to maintain structure.
For added flavor depth, toast the nuts before adding them to the batter.
