Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Add-Ins:

  • 3 cups peeled and finely chopped apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
  • 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
  • For the Glaze:

    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
    • 1/4 cup whole milk
    • 1 cup packed light brown sugar


Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 10-inch Bundt or tube pan.
  2. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Gradually add dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  4. Add Apple and Nuts: Fold in chopped apples and nuts if using. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  5. Bake: Bake for 60–70 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Make Glaze: In a saucepan, combine butter, milk, and brown sugar. Boil gently for 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly.
  7. Glaze the Cake: While warm, poke holes in the cake and pour the glaze over. Let it cool and absorb the glaze before serving.

  • For enhanced flavor, allow the cake to rest overnight before serving.
  • Pair with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delightful treat.
