Categories     dessert

Time 2h15m

Yield 16 to 20 slices

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 jumbo-sized eggs, separated
1 cup buttermilk
4 sticks butter, plus 1 tablespoon, for pan
3 cups cake flour, plus 2 tablespoons, for pan
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored and diced into 1/8-inch pieces
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 1/2 cups sugar, divided
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon extract
3 teaspoons baking powder
Special equipment: 10-inch Bundt cake pan

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Let the eggs, milk and butter come to room temperature on the counter before beginning. (Butter goes on the counter last.)
  • Butter the Bundt pan with 1 tablespoon of butter, then add 2 tablespoons of flour and shake and tap to coat the interior of the pan; set aside. Put the diced apples in a bowl with the cinnamon and lemon juice. In a large bowl or stand mixer add the butter and 2 cups of sugar and beat until smooth. Add the egg yolks, 1 at a time, and blend to completely incorporate before adding the next. The mixture will become very light in color. Add the buttermilk and the extracts and mix to combine. Stir in 3 cups of flour along with the baking powder and stir until incorporated.
  • In a separate clean dry bowl, whisk egg whites until foamy, then add the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar and whisk until shiny and soft peaks form when removing the whisk from the whites. Gently fold this into the cake batter. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Arrange the apples in the center of the ring all the way around, being sure they don't touch the outer or inner edge of the pan. Pour in the remaining batter and bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Remove the cake from the oven and cool completely. Put a large plate or cake plate on top of the pan, then holding both together, flip them so that the curved bottom of the Bundt pan is on the top and the plate is resting on a flat surface. Slowly remove the pan from the cake by lifting it straight up. Slice and serve.

APPLE CINNAMON BUNDT CAKE



Apple Cinnamon Bundt Cake image

This recipe is from Every Day Foods. I saw it on TV, and it looked so easy, I had to make it. It's moist and full of tender and chunky apple slices, and has a rich cinnamon spice flavor. I served it still warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Wow! Be sure to serve within the first day or two, as the apples will break down.

Time 1h30m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 cups flour
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar (it calls for light brown, but I used dark brown, and I really liked that)
4 large eggs
6 medium apples (keep from turning brown with a little lemon juice squeezed on the slices) or 4 large apples, peeled, cored and sliced 1/4 inch (keep from turning brown with a little lemon juice squeezed on the slices)
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 -3 tablespoons water (I used apple juice, yum!)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350, and prepare the 12 cup bundt pan (grease and flour if you don't have a non-stick).
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together.
  • In a large bowl, melt the butter in the microwave, and add brown sugar and eggs, whisking until smooth.
  • Gradually whisk in dry ingredients just until combined- don't overmix.
  • Fold in the apples (it will look sort of like peanut butter coated apple slices, but don't worry- the batter bakes up around the apple slices) and spoon batter into the bundt pan, smoothing the top.
  • Bake until a tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean (about an hour).
  • Cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, and invert onto a rack placed over wax paper to cool completely.
  • Make the glaze by whisking the water (or apple juice) together with the confectioners' sugar adding just enough liquid to make the glaze thick but pourable.
  • Drizzle glaze over completely cooled cake, and let it firm up before serving.
