Yield 12-14 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

150 grams or 1/2 cup plus 1 1/2 tablespoons (140 ml) eggs (about 3 large eggs)
100 grams or 1 cup walnut halves
300 grams or 2 1/2 cups (lightly spooned into the cup and leveled off) bleached all-purpose flour
5.5 grams or 1 teaspoon baking soda
6 grams or 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
4.4 grams or 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
4 large tart apples (657 grams or 1 1/2 pounds) / 525 grams or 4 cups diced
269 grams or 1 1/4 cups (296 ml) canola or safflower oil
200 grams or 1 cup granulated sugar
163 grams or 3/4 cup light brown sugar
2 teaspoons (10 ml) pure vanilla extract
Caramel Sauce and Glaze (optional)
Baking Equipment
The pan must be a minimum 12 cup capacity, such as a Nordic Ware Anniversary Bundt Pan with 10 to 15 cup capacity, or a 12 cup Bundt pan, coated with baking spray with flour; or a 16 cup two-piece angel food pan, bottom lined with parchment, then coated with baking spray with flour

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven:
  • Twenty minutes or longer before toasting the walnuts, set an oven rack in the lower third of the oven. Set the oven at 350ºF/175ºC.
  • Mise en place:
  • Thirty minutes to 1 hour ahead, set the eggs on the counter at room temperature (65º to 75ºF/19º to 24ºC).
  • TOAST AND CHOP THE WALNUTS: Spread the walnuts evenly on a cookie sheet and bake for 5 minutes. Turn the walnuts onto a clean dish town and roll and rub them around to loosen the skins. Discard any loose skins and let the nuts cool completely. Chop medium coarse.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  • Peel, core, and cut the apples into 1/8 to 1/4 inch dice.
  • Make the batter:
  • Into the bowl of a stand mixer, weigh or measure the eggs. Add the oil, granulated and brown sugars, and the vanilla. Attach the flat beater and beat on medium speed for 1 minute, until blended.
  • Add the flour mixture and beat on low speed for 20 seconds, just until incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  • Detach the bowl from the stand and with a large spoon stir in the apples and walnuts. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake the cake:
  • Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a wire cake tester inserted near the center comes out clean and the cake springs back when pressed lightly in the center.
  • Cool the cake:
  • Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 30 minutes. If using a straight sided pan, run a metal spatula between the sides of the pan and the cake. Invert the cake onto a wire rack that has been lightly coated with nonstick cooking spray and cool completely for about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Drizzle Caramel Sauce and Glaze over the cake after unmolding.
