Ingredients

    1. For the cake:
    2. 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    3. 1 teaspoon baking soda
    4. 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    5. 1/2 teaspoon salt
    6. 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
    7. 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    8. 1 cup vegetable oil
    9. 1 cup granulated sugar
    10. 1/2 cup brown sugar
    11. 3 large eggs
    12. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    13. 1/2 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
    14. 2 cups peeled and diced tart apples (like Granny Smith)

 

  1. For the caramel glaze:
  2. 4 tablespoons butter
  3. 1/2 cup brown sugar
  4. 1/4 cup heavy cream
  5. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  6. Pinch of salt (optional, for salted caramel)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan thoroughly.

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla and sour cream.
  4. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  5. Fold in the diced apples.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool in pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack and cool completely.
  9. To make the glaze: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in brown sugar and cream and bring to a gentle boil. Simmer for 2–3 minutes, then remove from heat and stir in vanilla and salt.
  10. Let the glaze cool slightly before drizzling over the cooled cake.

Notes

  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for best flavor balance.
  • Add chopped pecans or walnuts for texture and crunch.
  • Double the caramel glaze for an extra indulgent finish.
  • Store unglazed if freezing, and add glaze after thawing.
  • Grease and flour the bundt pan very well to prevent sticking.
