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!

Cool cake 30 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Provided by XrayKim

Number Of Ingredients 16

APPLE CAKE:
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 eggs
1/2 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups finely chopped apples
1/2 cup pecans or walnuts, chopped (optional)
BROWN SUGAR GLAZE:
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
3 Tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 Tablespoon heavy cream

Steps:

  • CAKE: Heat the oven to 350° F. Grease an 8-inch pan and set aside. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.Stir with a whisk to mix everything together. In a large bowl, mix the eggs with a hand mixer til light in color and foamy. Add the oil and vanilla and beat well. Stir in the flour mixture with a spoon and continue stirring the batter til the flour disappears. Add the apples and nuts (if using) and stir to mix them into the batter. Scrape batter into prepared pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Place the hot cake on a wire cake. While it's still hot, prepare the glaze. GLAZE: Combine all the ingredients into a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the mixture comes to a gentle boil. Cook for 3-5 minutes. Spoon the hot glaze over the still hot-from-the-oven cake. Let the glazed cake cool completely before serving straight from the pan.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are all good choices for this cake. They hold their shape well and have a tart flavor that pairs well with the sweet glaze.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a bundt pan: A bundt pan is the best pan to use for this cake because it allows the batter to rise evenly and gives the cake a beautiful shape.
  • Glaze the cake while it's still warm: This will help the glaze soak into the cake and give it a delicious flavor.

Conclusion:

This fresh apple cake with brown sugar glaze is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, with a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness. The glaze is rich and decadent, and it adds a beautiful finishing touch to the cake.
