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, at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 medium apples (about 3 cups or 375g), peeled, cored, 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 with a butter and flour mixture or use nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until evenly combined for an even distribution of spices.
  3. Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
  4. Bring It All Together: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until combined to avoid overmixing. Gently fold in the diced apples with a spatula, ensuring even spread without breaking them down.
  5. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the surface. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. A warm, comforting aroma will fill your kitchen as it bakes.
  6. Cool and Glaze: Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely. To make the glaze, whisk the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract together until smooth, then drizzle over the cooled cake for a sweet finishing touch.

Notes

  • Use apples that hold their shape well when baked, such as Granny Smith or Fuji.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake tender and moist.
  • For a dairy-free glaze, substitute milk with almond or oat milk.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • The glaze is optional but adds a lovely sweetness and extra moisture.
