This delightful bundt cake combines the warmth of spices with the sweetness of apples and the crunch of walnuts, making it a perfect treat for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a Bundt pan to prevent sticking.
Ensure even greasing and flouring of the pan for easy cake release.
In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples with 2 tablespoons of sugar and the cinnamon. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
Letting the apples sit with sugar and cinnamon enhances their flavor.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt in another bowl.
Sifting helps to aerate the flour, resulting in a lighter cake.
In a large bowl, beat the sugar, oil, vanilla, and eggs until smooth and creamy.
Beating the wet ingredients thoroughly ensures a uniform batter.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the cake tender.
Fold in the apple mixture and chopped walnuts gently.
Folding gently prevents the batter from deflating.
Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top.
Tap the pan lightly on the counter to remove air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Check the cake at the minimum baking time to avoid overbaking.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling in the pan initially helps the cake set and prevents breaking.
Dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar before serving.
Use a fine sieve for an even dusting of powdered sugar.
