Apple Cake
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups plus 2 Tbsp sugar, divided
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup orange juice
- 2 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 Granny Smith or other tart apples, peeled, cored, halved, and thinly sliced
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously grease a Bundt pan.
- Combine the flour, 1 1/2 cups of sugar, baking powder, and salt in the bowl of a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and stir to mix. Add the eggs, oil, orange juice, and vanilla and mix on low to form a smooth batter, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Stir together the remaining 2 tablespoons of the sugar with the cinnamon in a small bowl. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan and top with half of the apple slices, overlapping. Sprinkle with half of the cinnamon sugar. Repeat with the remaining batter, apple slices, and cinnamon-sugar. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the cake comes out clean, 1 to 1 1/4 hours.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Glaze
