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
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
