EASIEST EVER MOIST APPLE CAKE
A very moist, perfectly spiced Apple Cake! This is incredibly easy to make - no mixer required. This must be made with fresh apples, not canned. See note 5 for information about different measures in different countries & different oven types. Also, I do not recommend substituting butter for all or part of the oil - it does not come out as moist and you can't taste buttery flavour anyway because of the spice flavourings! FREEZES great!

Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Mix together the softened butter with 2 tablespoons of the flour to make a paste. In a 10-inch Bundt pan, paint on the flour and butter paste with a pastry brush until the pan is well coated.

Tips:
- For a sweeter cake, use sweeter apples, such as Honeycrisp or Fuji. For a tarter cake, use tarter apples, such as Granny Smith or Braeburn.
- Be sure to peel and core the apples before grating them. This will help to prevent the cake from becoming too dense.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the apples by hand. Just be sure to grate them finely.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will usually take about 50-60 minutes.
- Let the cake cool completely before serving. This will help to prevent it from falling apart.
Conclusion:
This fresh apple cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is moist, flavorful, and full of apple flavor. Whether you serve it with a dollop of whipped cream, a scoop of ice cream, or just a cup of coffee, this cake is sure to be a hit.
