Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 and 1/4 cups (300ml) canola or vegetable oil
1/2 cup (120g) plain yogurt or sour cream, at room temperature
1 and 1/4 cups (250g) packed light or dark brown sugar
1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 Tablespoon pure vanilla extract (yes, 1 full Tablespoon)
3 cups (360g) peeled and chopped apples, about 2-3 large apples
1 cup (200g) packed light or dark brown sugar
1/4 cup (57g) unsalted butter
1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
1/2 cup (60g) confectioners' sugar, sifted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Spray a 10-12 cup Bundt pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.
  • Whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt together in a large bowl until combined. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk the oil, yogurt, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla together until combined and creamy. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and slowly whisk until no large lumps remain. Try to avoid over-mixing. Carefully fold in the apple chunks. If you feel 3 large apples is too much, feel free to cut down to 2 apples. I like a lot of apple chunks in my cake!
  • Spoon/pour the thick batter into the prepared bundt pan. Bake for 55-75 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the cake comes out clean. The baking times may vary depending on your oven, if you used a 10 cup bundt pan or 12 cup, or if you used less apple chunks. Keep your eye on the cake after 55 minutes. Feel free to cover the cake loosely with aluminum foil about halfway through to prevent heavy browning on top. Allow the cake to cool in the pan set on a wire rack, then invert onto a serving plate once cooled and ready to serve.
  • As the cake cools, prepare the brown sugar glaze. Combine the butter, brown sugar, and heavy cream in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly as the mixture comes to a simmer and then a rapid boil. Once boiling, stop stirring and allow to boil for 1 minute. Turn the heat down to low, give it a quick stir, and let simmer for 1 minute. Remove from heat and whisk in the sifted confectioners' sugar. Allow glaze to cool and slightly thicken for at least 10 minutes. Spoon glaze over the cake right before serving. If your glaze thickens up too much before serving the cake, warm in the microwave for 15 seconds and stir until smooth.
  • I like this cake warm, at room temperature, and even cold. Cover leftovers and store at room temperature for 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Flavor is outstanding on day 2!

APPLE, RAISIN, WALNUT CAKE



Apple, Raisin, Walnut Cake image

The girls and boys in my junior high home economics classes like this cake because it's not too sweet. I like it because it has high fiber and nutritional value-the apples are used unpeeled. Parents who have apple trees are always glad to donate the apples!

Tips:

- To achieve the perfect texture, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This incorporates air into the mixture, resulting in a tender and moist cake. - Use a bundt pan with a capacity of at least 10 cups to ensure that the batter doesn't overflow. - Before adding the eggs, beat them in a separate bowl until well combined. This helps to temper the eggs and prevents them from curdling when added to the hot butter and sugar mixture. - Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with milk. This helps to prevent the batter from becoming too thick or lumpy. - Before baking, sprinkle the top of the cake with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar for a sweet and crunchy crust. - Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing. This helps to prevent the glaze from seeping into the cake and making it soggy.

Conclusion:

This apple raisin bundt cake is a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, dessert, or as a snack. With its moist texture, sweet and tangy flavor, and crunchy cinnamon sugar topping, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
