Description
This is a fantastic Bundt cake that my grandmother used to make for Thanksgiving. It has been a family favorite for years!
Ingredients
- 2 cups white sugar
- 1 ½ cups vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 medium Granny Smith apples – peeled, cored and chopped
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- ½ cup butter or margarine
- 2 teaspoons milk
- ½ cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9 inch Bundt pan.
- In a large bowl
- beat the sugar
- oil
- vanilla and eggs with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Combine the flour
- baking soda
- cinnamon and salt; stir into the batter just until blended. Fold in the apples and walnuts using a spoon. Pour into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes in the preheated oven
- until a toothpick inserted into the crown or the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool for about 20 minutes then invert on to a wire rack.
- Make the glaze by heating the butter
- milk and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil
- stirring to dissolve the sugar
- then remove from the heat. Drizzle over the warm cake. I like to place a sheet of aluminum foil under the cooling rack to catch the drips for easy clean up.
