Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake

  • 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)
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (200g) packed brown sugar
  • 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, and diced

For the Glaze (Optional)

  • 1 cup (125g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 2–3 tablespoons (30-45ml) milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan thoroughly to ensure the cake releases easily after baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
  3. Combine Sugars and Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined without overmixing to keep the cake tender.
  5. Add Apples: Fold in the diced apples evenly throughout the batter to ensure every slice has delicious apple chunks.
  6. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool Down: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before carefully inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Prepare the Glaze (Optional): In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more milk if needed.
  9. Glaze and Serve: Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake just before serving for an extra touch of sweetness and visual appeal.

Notes

  • Make sure to fully grease and flour the bundt pan to avoid sticking.
  • Diced apples add moisture and texture; use tart apples like Granny Smith for balanced sweetness.
  • You can substitute the vegetable oil with melted butter for richer flavor.
  • Room temperature eggs help to create a smoother batter and better rise.
  • The glaze is optional but highly recommended for added sweetness.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
