1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup sour cream
2 cups peeled and chopped apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan to prevent the cake from sticking.
Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. This will guarantee the spices are evenly distributed throughout the cake.
Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, confirming each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract for additional flavor.
Combine with Sour Cream: Mix in the sour cream until the batter is smooth and creamy. This will add moisture and tanginess to the cake.
Incorporate the Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cake tough.
Add Apples and Nuts: Fold in the chopped apples and nuts (if using). This will add texture and bursts of flavor to the cake.
Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a simple glaze if desired.

Extra Tips:

To guarantee the best texture and flavor, use fresh, crisp apples that hold their shape well during baking. If you prefer a slightly sweeter cake, you can opt for a sweeter apple variety like Fuji or Gala.

For an extra touch of elegance, consider adding a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk or apple cider. Additionally, to prevent sticking, make sure your bundt pan is thoroughly greased and floured, reaching all the nooks and crannies.

2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream
2 cups peeled and chopped apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a bundt pan thoroughly with butter or non-stick cooking spray. This will guarantee the cake doesn’t stick to the pan after baking.
Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. This helps to evenly distribute the leavening agents and spices throughout the cake.
Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. This step incorporates air into the mixture, giving the cake a lighter texture.
Add the Eggs and Vanilla: Mix in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. This provides the cake with structure and flavor.
Incorporate the Sour Cream and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the sour cream, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined to avoid overmixing, which can lead to a dense cake.
Fold in the Apples: Gently fold the chopped apples into the batter using a spatula, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout.
Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Add Caramel: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, drizzle the caramel sauce generously over the top of the cake.

Extra Tips:

For the best results, choose apples that are firm and slightly tart, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, as they hold up well during baking and provide a nice contrast to the sweet caramel.

If you prefer a homemade touch, you can make your own caramel sauce by melting sugar until it turns amber, then adding butter and cream. Remember to let the cake cool completely before drizzling the caramel to prevent it from soaking into the cake too much.

Finally, serve your Caramel Apple Delight Bundt Cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.

1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 cups peeled and diced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp recommended)
1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a Bundt pan thoroughly to guarantee the cake will release easily after baking.
Brown the Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until it turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
Combine Sugars and Eggs: In another bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cooled brown butter. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and add the vanilla extract.
Incorporate Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
Add Apples and Nuts: Gently fold in the diced apples and nuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve as desired.

Extra Tips:

For an extra layer of flavor, consider drizzling the cooled cake with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and a few tablespoons of apple cider or milk. This will add a touch of sweetness and enhance the cake’s presentation.

Additionally, using a variety of apples can add more complexity to the flavor profile, so feel free to experiment with different types. Make sure to let the brown butter cool slightly before mixing it with the sugars to prevent any curdling.

Enjoy this cake slightly warm for the richest taste experience.
