How to Make Apple Butter Cake With Beer Honey

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and oil until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the apple butter, beer, honey, and vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the diced apples, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once completely cool, dust generously with powdered sugar.

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.
