Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 3 cups peeled and chopped fresh apples (about 3 medium apples)
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and flour a Bundt pan.
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and sour cream until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Fold in the chopped apples and nuts (if using).
- Bake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve:
- Dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar or drizzle with a simple glaze if desired.
- Slice and serve as a delightful dessert or with a cup of coffee.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add a teaspoon of apple pie spice to the batter.
- This cake pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
