Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ½ cups (420g) all purpose flour
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 cup (198g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (213g) brown sugar
- ¾ cup (149g) vegetable oil
- 1 cup (255g) applesauce, sweetened or unsweetened
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 ½–3 cups diced apples, cut into ¼-inch chunks
- ½ cup (107g) brown sugar
- ¼ cup (57g) unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp milk
- ⅔ cup (76g) powdered sugar, sifted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Generously grease a 10 to 12 cup bundt pan with butter and flour.
- Peel, core, and dice the apples into ¼ inch chunks. Aim for 2.5-3 cups total for even baking.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Add half of the dry ingredients to the wet mix, stirring just until combined.
- Incorporate the remaining dry ingredients and diced apples, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the surface with a spatula.
- Bake for 60 minutes. Check the cake's surface; if browning too quickly, cover loosely with foil. Bake for 10 to 20 more minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool the cake in the pan for 15 to 20 minutes, then carefully place it on a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a sweeter taste, use sweetened applesauce.
Ensure the apples are cut into even-sized chunks for uniform baking.
The cake can be topped with a glaze made from powdered sugar and milk.
