Equipment
- Stand mixer with paddle attachment
- 12 cup bundt pan
- Flour sifter
- Spatula
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour spooned, leveled and sifted
- 1 pound apples peeled, cored, and cut into 1 cm pieces
- 1 cup buttermilk room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 3 eggs room temperature
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ½ cup sour cream room temperature
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- ½ tablespoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ginger
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F, 165°C, or gas mark 3. Grease and flour the Bundt pan and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and salt.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, on medium speed, combine oil and the sugars, and mix until blended. Then add the eggs one at a time waiting a minute between each egg. Add the sour cream and vanilla. Scrape down the sides with a spatula if necessary.
- Reduce the speed to low and alternate adding the flour mixture and buttermilk. Starting with the flour add ⅓ of the mixture and then half of the buttermilk. Repeat until all has been incorporated. Mix only until just combined before the next addition.
- Add the apples and mix until they are evenly spread throughout the batter. You can do this with a spoon or spatula.
- Pour the batter into the Bundt pan and bake on the middle rack for 65-75 minutes or until a toothpick or knife inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. If the cake is browning too quickly cover the top with foil.
- Once the cake has been removed from the oven allow to cool on a cooling rack in the pan for at least 20 minutes. Then place the cooling rack on top of the cake and invert to continue to cool for another 40 minutes or until it comes to room temperature.
- Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
