EASIEST EVER MOIST APPLE CAKE



Easiest Ever MOIST Apple Cake image

A very moist, perfectly spiced Apple Cake! This is incredibly easy to make - no mixer required. This must be made with fresh apples, not canned. See note 5 for information about different measures in different countries & different oven types. Also, I do not recommend substituting butter for all or part of the oil - it does not come out as moist and you can't taste buttery flavour anyway because of the spice flavourings! FREEZES great!

Categories     Breads

Time 45m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 box yellow cake mix
1 (21 ounce) can apple pie filling
3 eggs
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cardamom
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup chopped nuts (if desired)

Steps:

  • Mix together first seven ingredients in mixer.
  • Mix 2 minutes at medium speed.
  • Fold in chopped nuts.
  • Coat bundt pan with cooking spray and flour.
  • Bake at 350 degrees 35-40 minutes.
  • Insert toothpick to check for doneness.
  • Cool 5 mins in pan, invert to plate.
  • Cool, dust with powered sugar.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: For a moist and flavorful cake, use a variety of apples such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady. These apples hold their shape well when baked and provide a nice tartness to balance the sweetness of the cake.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Use fresh lemon juice: Fresh lemon juice helps to brighten the flavor of the cake and prevent the apples from browning.
  • Add a streusel topping: A streusel topping adds a delicious crunch to the cake. To make a streusel topping, combine flour, sugar, butter, and spices, and then sprinkle it over the batter before baking.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the cake is cooked through.

Conclusion:

Apple cake is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and flavorful crumb, tart apples, and sweet streusel topping, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone.
