How to Make Apple Bundt Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan.
- In a medium bowl, combine 4 medium Fiji apples (peeled, cored, and diced), 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 4 large eggs, one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional).
- Add 1/3 of the batter to the prepared Bundt pan. Sprinkle with half of the apple mixture. Top with another 1/3 of the batter, the remaining apple mixture, and the final 1/3 of the batter.
- Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
