Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (200g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1 cup (240ml) vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Other Ingredients

  • 3 medium apples (about 3 cups or 375g), peeled, cored, and diced

Glaze

  • 1 cup (125g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 2–3 tablespoons (30-45ml) milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Thoroughly grease your bundt pan with butter and dust it with flour to prevent sticking. Alternatively, use nonstick cooking spray for convenience.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg to evenly distribute the spices throughout the flour mixture.
  3. Combine the Wet Stuff: In a separate bowl, beat together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing fully after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Bring It All Together: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined to avoid overworking the batter. Finally, fold in the diced apples carefully with a spatula.
  5. Bake It Up: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the surface. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes in the pan.
  6. Cool and Glaze: Carefully invert the cake from the pan onto a wire rack to cool completely. For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth, then drizzle over the cooled cake. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Make sure to grease and flour the bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  • Use room temperature eggs for better mixing and a smoother batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter once the dry ingredients are added to avoid a dense cake.
  • The glaze is optional but adds a nice finishing touch with extra sweetness.
  • You can substitute vegetable oil with melted butter for a richer flavor if desired.
