Cinnamon Apple Cake Recipe
Description
This Cinnamon Apple Cake starts by mixing peeled, cored, and diced apples into a batter seasoned with ground cinnamon and granulated sugar. The wet ingredients including eggs and vegetable oil combine with flour and baking soda to form a balanced, tender cake base. Baking in a pre-greased bundt pan shapes the cake while allowing even heat distribution.
The diced apples add moist pockets of fruit, enhancing both texture and flavor with mild tartness depending on the apple variety. The cinnamon adds a warm spice note throughout. Once baked and cooled, the cake is finished with a smooth glaze of powdered sugar, water, and vanilla that adds sweetness and a slight shine.
This cake pairs well with coffee or tea as an afternoon treat or dessert. Serving in moderate slices accommodates a group, with yield enough for 12 to 20 pieces depending on portion size. Variation in apple types can subtly shift the balance of tart and sweet notes.
Choosing a mix of apple varieties can add complexity to flavor. Leftover cake stores well at room temperature covered for several days. Proper cooling before glazing prevents glaze from melting into the cake.
Ingredients
For the cake:
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 4 apple peeled, cored, and small diced
- 3 egg
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
For the glaze:
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 12-cup or larger bundt pan.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, or by hand using an electric mixer on medium speed, mix together the apples, egg, and vegetable oil. Add flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, and ground cinnamon, and beat until well combined.
- Pour batter into prepared bundt pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 50-60 minutes. Allow to cool 10 minutes in pan, and turn out cake onto a cooling rack.
- To make the glaze, in a small bowl whisk together powdered sugar, water, and vanilla. Drizzle over cooled cake.
Notes
- Use a mix of apple varieties for balanced sweet and tart flavors or stick with a preferred single variety.
- This recipe makes one bundt cake serving 12 to 20 depending on slice thickness.
- Store extra cake wrapped at room temperature up to four days.
