Cinnamon Apple Bundt Cake with Walnuts
Studded with tart Granny Smith apples, crunchy walnuts, and cinnamon spice, this Cinnamon Apple Bundt Cake with Walnuts is easy to prepare and stays super moist for days.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 - 2 tablespoons butter for greasing the pan
- 3 cups all-purpose flour plus 1/4 cup for the pan
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 cups sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups canola oil
- ¼ cup orange juice
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups peeled and finely chopped Granny Smith apples
- 1 ½ cups chopped walnuts
Sauce
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup buttermilk
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Generously grease a Bundt pan with butter and dust with 1/4 cup of flour, shaking out any excess.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- To the bowl of a stand mixer, add the sugar, eggs, canola oil, orange juice, and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Gradually add the flour mixture, beating until thoroughly incorporated.
- Gently fold the apples and walnuts into the batter with a rubber spatula. Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and bake for 1 1/2 hours, or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Sauce
- About 10 minutes before the cake is done, melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium high heat. Stir in the sugar, buttermilk, and baking soda. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Remove the cake from the oven and set the pan on a wire rack. Poke holes in the cake with a long wooden skewer or the prongs of a meat fork.
- Pour the hot sauce all over the cake in the pan. Let the cake sit in the pan for 1 hour before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Store the cake covered at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
- I used a 12-cup bundt pan for this recipe, but you can split it into two smaller pans and adjust the baking time/temperature if preferred.
- Consider adjusting the baking time according to your oven for a perfectly moist cake. In other words, if you know, it tends to bake quicker and hotter, reduce the time, and vice versa.
