Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 cups peeled, cored, and diced apples (about 2 medium apples)
  • For the Glaze (Optional): 1 cup powdered sugar, 2-3 tablespoons milk, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-cup Bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the diced apples.
  7. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared Bundt pan.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. For the optional glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake.

Notes

  • For the best flavor and texture, use a mix of apple varieties like Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala.
  • Ensure your Bundt pan is thoroughly greased and floured to prevent sticking. You can also use baking spray with flour.
  • This cake can be stored at room temperature, covered, for up to 3 days.
