What Kind of Apples Should I Use for Bundt Cake?

Ingredients for the Delicious Apple Bundt Cake

This recipe calls for simple ingredients that work together to create a moist and flavorful cake. The combination of sugar, spices, and apples creates a rich batter that turns into a perfectly golden Bundt.

• All-purpose flour
• Granulated sugar
• Brown sugar
• Baking soda
• Ground cinnamon
• Salt
• Vegetable oil
• Eggs
• Vanilla extract
• Apples (peeled and chopped)
• Pecans or walnuts (optional)

Each ingredient plays a role in building flavor and structure. The brown sugar adds depth, while the oil keeps the crumb moist. Apples bring the natural sweetness, and the nuts give texture and nutty contrast if used.

How To Make the Delicious Apple Bundt Cake

Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Pan

Preheat your oven to 325°F and generously grease a Bundt pan with butter or nonstick spray. Lightly flour it for extra release power.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, both sugars, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. This ensures your dry ingredients are evenly distributed before adding the wet components.

Step 3: Add the Wet Ingredients

Stir in the oil, eggs, and vanilla until the batter is smooth. It will be thick—that’s normal.

Step 4: Fold in the Apples and Nuts

Gently fold in the chopped apples and pecans or walnuts if using. The batter will be quite dense and loaded with fruit.

Step 5: Bake the Cake

Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, spreading evenly. Bake for about 60 to 70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 6: Cool and Release

Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then carefully turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 7: Optional Glaze

Drizzle with a simple powdered sugar glaze or cream cheese glaze if you like a little extra sweetness.

How to Serve and Store This Apple Bundt Cake

This cake makes about 12 generous slices, perfect for sharing with family or at a gathering. Serve it slightly warm or at room temperature for the best texture and flavor. A dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream takes it over the top.

To store, wrap the cooled cake tightly in plastic wrap or place in an airtight container. It will keep on the counter for up to 3 days, or refrigerate it for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze individual slices and thaw when ready to enjoy.
