Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups peeled, cored, and chopped apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp recommended)
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
  • For the Glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-cup Bundt pan well.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil until combined.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and sour cream until the batter is smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the chopped apples and walnuts, if using.
  7. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared Bundt pan.
  8. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes before inverting it onto the rack to cool completely.
  10. While the cake cools, prepare the glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add more powdered sugar for a thicker glaze or more milk for a thinner one.
  11. Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the brown sugar glaze over the top. Slice and serve this delicious Bundt cake.

Notes

  • For the moistest cake, use oil instead of butter in the batter.
  • If you do not have sour cream, plain Greek yogurt works as a substitute.
  • Ensure your apples are chopped into small, uniform pieces so they distribute evenly throughout the batter.
