Apple Bundt Cake
This Apple Bundt Cake is simple yet incredibly delicious! Fluffy and moist, it is spiced with cinnamon and studded not only with apples but also raisins and pecans. Serve as an afternoon snack, breakfast or dessert!
Ingredients
- 3 medium apples, washed and dried
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ⅓ cup golden raisins
- ⅓ cup chopped pecans
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF with a rack in the center.
- Butter and flour a 12-cup bundt cake pan, making sure to get into every nook and cranny to prevent the cake from sticking to the pan. Reserve.
- Peel the apples and reserve the peels. Core them and dice into small 1/4-inch pieces. Reserve.
- In a blender jar, combine the oil, eggs and reserve apple peels. Blend until smooth.
- Transfer the liquid mixture into a large mixing bowl. Add the sugar and salt, and mix until well combined. Then, sift the flour, baking powder and cinnamon into the bowl. Using a wooden spoon, gently mix until no pockets of flour remain.
- Stir in the reserved apples, pecans and raisins, making sure they are well distributed in the cake batter.
- Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. There might be some moisture if it hits an apple, but there shouldn't be any raw batter.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes. Then, carefully run a butter knife around the edges of the cake pan, and turn into a cooling rack. Using your hands, invert the cake again so the puffed part is up!
- Let the cake cool completely before dusting with powdered sugar and serving!
