Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 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)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (200g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1 cup (240ml) vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Fruits

  • 3 medium apples (about 3 cups or 375g), peeled, cored, and diced

Glaze

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a bundt pan thoroughly using butter and flour, coating every part to prevent sticking. Alternatively, use a nonstick spray if you’re short on time.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Ensure the spices are evenly distributed for consistent flavor throughout the cake.
  3. Combine the Wet Stuff: In a separate bowl, beat together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil until smooth and well blended. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
  4. Bring It All Together: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cake tender. Gently fold in the diced apples using a spatula to incorporate them evenly throughout the batter.
  5. Bake It Up: Pour the batter into your prepared bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The cake will give off a sweet, spiced aroma as it bakes.
  6. Cool and Glaze: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely. For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake for an added touch of sweetness, or enjoy the cake plain for a simpler presentation.

Notes

  • Ensure your apples are fresh and diced evenly for consistent texture and flavor.
  • Room temperature eggs help create a smooth batter and better rise.
  • Use a light hand when mixing dry ingredients into wet to avoid a dense cake.
  • If you prefer, substitute the vegetable oil with canola oil or melted butter for a different flavor profile.
  • The glaze is optional; omit for a less sweet finish or dust with powdered sugar instead.
  • Store the cake covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • To keep apples from browning before mixing, toss them lightly with a bit of lemon juice if desired.
