Apple Bourbon Cake Recipe

Ingredients for Apple Bourbon Cake

• Cooking Spray
• 6 medium apples (about 3 pounds), peeled, cored, and chopped
• 1/4 cup bourbon
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar (adjust to your preference)
• Vegetable Oil
• 3 large eggs
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• Ground Cloves
• 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

How to Make Apple Bourbon Cake

1. In a large resealable bag, combine the chopped apples and bourbon. Seal the bag and gently toss to coat the apples evenly.
2. Let the apples marinate in the bourbon for 1 hour, occasionally shaking the bag to ensure all the apples are infused.
3. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
4. Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
5. In a large bowl, cream together the sugar, oil, and eggs using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and cloves.
7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
8. Gently fold in the marinated apples and walnuts (if using).
9. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
10. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking for doneness around the 60-minute mark.
11. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before serving. Enjoy warm or cold with your favorite topping, such as whipped cream, ice cream, or frozen yogurt.
