Tips:

  • To ensure a moist and flavorful cake, use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This includes using real butter, eggs, and buttermilk, as well as fresh apples and walnuts.
  • For a more intense orange flavor, use freshly squeezed orange juice and zest in the glaze. You can also add a tablespoon of Grand Marnier or other orange liqueur to the glaze for an extra boost of flavor.
  • If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • To prevent the cake from sticking to the pan, grease and flour the pan before adding the batter. You can also use a baking spray that contains flour.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can dry out the cake, so it's important to keep an eye on it during baking.
  • Let the cake cool completely before glazing it. This will help the glaze set properly and prevent it from running off the cake.

Conclusion:

This apple walnut cake with orange glaze is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The moist and flavorful cake is studded with apples and walnuts, and the orange glaze adds a bright and citrusy flavor. This cake is sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
