How to Make Apple Date Bundt Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- In a food processor, combine the chopped dates and apples until finely chopped. Stir the apple-date mixture into the batter.
- 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.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving (optional).
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.
