Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and flour a 9-inch tube pan. Beat the oil, sour cream and sugars together in a mixer (fitted with a paddle attachment) for about 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating each until creamy. Add vanilla and beat for anther minute.
  2. In a medium bowl, add the flour and cinnamon, salt and baking soda and whisk to combine. Add to the wet ingredients, beating on low speed just until combined. With a rubber spatula, fold in apples, nuts and toffee chips until they are dispersed evenly. Don’t over-mix.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour. Remove from oven and set on a cooling rack on the counter. Allow cake to cool in pan.
  4. Once cake is completely cool, turn it out onto a serving plate. Sprinkle the top with powdered sugar. Slice and serve with ice cream, whipped cream or creme fraiche and a drizzle of Salted Caramel Sauce, if desired.
