Categories     Cake

Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 and 1/4 cups (300ml) canola or vegetable oil
1/2 cup (120g) plain yogurt or sour cream, at room temperature
1 and 1/4 cups (250g) packed light or dark brown sugar
1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 Tablespoon pure vanilla extract (yes, 1 full Tablespoon)
3 cups (360g) peeled and chopped apples, about 2-3 large apples
1 cup (200g) packed light or dark brown sugar
1/4 cup (57g) unsalted butter
1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
1/2 cup (60g) confectioners' sugar, sifted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Spray a 10-12 cup Bundt pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.
  • Whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt together in a large bowl until combined. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk the oil, yogurt, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla together until combined and creamy. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and slowly whisk until no large lumps remain. Try to avoid over-mixing. Carefully fold in the apple chunks. If you feel 3 large apples is too much, feel free to cut down to 2 apples. I like a lot of apple chunks in my cake!
  • Spoon/pour the thick batter into the prepared bundt pan. Bake for 55-75 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the cake comes out clean. The baking times may vary depending on your oven, if you used a 10 cup bundt pan or 12 cup, or if you used less apple chunks. Keep your eye on the cake after 55 minutes. Feel free to cover the cake loosely with aluminum foil about halfway through to prevent heavy browning on top. Allow the cake to cool in the pan set on a wire rack, then invert onto a serving plate once cooled and ready to serve.
  • As the cake cools, prepare the brown sugar glaze. Combine the butter, brown sugar, and heavy cream in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly as the mixture comes to a simmer and then a rapid boil. Once boiling, stop stirring and allow to boil for 1 minute. Turn the heat down to low, give it a quick stir, and let simmer for 1 minute. Remove from heat and whisk in the sifted confectioners' sugar. Allow glaze to cool and slightly thicken for at least 10 minutes. Spoon glaze over the cake right before serving. If your glaze thickens up too much before serving the cake, warm in the microwave for 15 seconds and stir until smooth.
  • I like this cake warm, at room temperature, and even cold. Cover leftovers and store at room temperature for 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Flavor is outstanding on day 2!

Yield 12-14 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

150 grams or 1/2 cup plus 1 1/2 tablespoons (140 ml) eggs (about 3 large eggs)
100 grams or 1 cup walnut halves
300 grams or 2 1/2 cups (lightly spooned into the cup and leveled off) bleached all-purpose flour
5.5 grams or 1 teaspoon baking soda
6 grams or 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
4.4 grams or 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
4 large tart apples (657 grams or 1 1/2 pounds) / 525 grams or 4 cups diced
269 grams or 1 1/4 cups (296 ml) canola or safflower oil
200 grams or 1 cup granulated sugar
163 grams or 3/4 cup light brown sugar
2 teaspoons (10 ml) pure vanilla extract
Caramel Sauce and Glaze (optional)
Baking Equipment
The pan must be a minimum 12 cup capacity, such as a Nordic Ware Anniversary Bundt Pan with 10 to 15 cup capacity, or a 12 cup Bundt pan, coated with baking spray with flour; or a 16 cup two-piece angel food pan, bottom lined with parchment, then coated with baking spray with flour

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven:
  • Twenty minutes or longer before toasting the walnuts, set an oven rack in the lower third of the oven. Set the oven at 350ºF/175ºC.
  • Mise en place:
  • Thirty minutes to 1 hour ahead, set the eggs on the counter at room temperature (65º to 75ºF/19º to 24ºC).
  • TOAST AND CHOP THE WALNUTS: Spread the walnuts evenly on a cookie sheet and bake for 5 minutes. Turn the walnuts onto a clean dish town and roll and rub them around to loosen the skins. Discard any loose skins and let the nuts cool completely. Chop medium coarse.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  • Peel, core, and cut the apples into 1/8 to 1/4 inch dice.
  • Make the batter:
  • Into the bowl of a stand mixer, weigh or measure the eggs. Add the oil, granulated and brown sugars, and the vanilla. Attach the flat beater and beat on medium speed for 1 minute, until blended.
  • Add the flour mixture and beat on low speed for 20 seconds, just until incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  • Detach the bowl from the stand and with a large spoon stir in the apples and walnuts. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake the cake:
  • Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a wire cake tester inserted near the center comes out clean and the cake springs back when pressed lightly in the center.
  • Cool the cake:
  • Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 30 minutes. If using a straight sided pan, run a metal spatula between the sides of the pan and the cake. Invert the cake onto a wire rack that has been lightly coated with nonstick cooking spray and cool completely for about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Drizzle Caramel Sauce and Glaze over the cake after unmolding.

This cake is made with fresh apples, crunchy pine nuts, and warm spices, making it a comforting and flavorful treat. There are many variations of this classic recipe, but all of them are easy to make and sure to impress. In this article, we will be exploring the ingredients, flavors, and techniques used in making the perfect apple pine nut bundt cake.

Ingredients

The apple pine nut bundt cake recipe typically includes a few key ingredients that form the base of the cake. These include:
1. Apples:
Apples are the star of the show in an apple pine nut bundt cake. They are typically grated or chopped finely and added to the cake batter, giving it a sweet and slightly tart flavor. The type of apple used can be varied depending on personal preference, but Granny Smith, Honeycrisp or Pink Lady apples are often used.
2. Pine nuts:
Pine nuts are another key ingredient in this cake. They add a crunch and nuttiness to the cake, complementing the sweet apple flavor. You can use either roasted or raw pine nuts, but make sure to chop them finely before adding them to the batter, so that they distribute evenly throughout the cake.
3. Flour:
Flour is the backbone of any cake, and this recipe typically calls for all-purpose flour. You can also use a combination of all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour, which will give the cake a nuttier flavor and a denser texture.
4. Sugar:
Sugar is used to sweeten the cake and bring out the flavors of the other ingredients. You can use either white or brown sugar, depending on preference.
5. Spices:
Spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are often used in an apple pine nut bundt cake, as they complement the flavors of the apples and pine nuts. Use a blend of spices that you enjoy and adjust the amount to your liking.
6. Eggs:
Eggs are used to bind the ingredients together and give the cake structure. They also add moisture and richness to the cake.
7. Oil:
Oil is typically used instead of butter in this recipe, as it gives the cake a moist and tender crumb. You can use vegetable oil, canola oil, or coconut oil.
8. Baking powder and baking soda:
These leavening agents are used to make the cake light and fluffy. Make sure to use both baking powder and baking soda, as they have slightly different properties.

Technique

Making an apple pine nut bundt cake is fairly straightforward, but here are a few tips to ensure success:
1. Prepare your ingredients:
Make sure to grate or chop your apples finely and chop your pine nuts so that they distribute evenly throughout the cake. Sift your flour and measure out all of your ingredients before you begin.
2. Prepare your pan:
Make sure to grease your bundt pan thoroughly with butter or non-stick spray. You can also dust it with flour to ensure that the cake releases cleanly.
3. Mix your dry ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together your flour, sugar, spices, baking powder, and baking soda. Make sure that they are well combined.
4. Mix your wet ingredients:
In another bowl, whisk together your eggs, oil, and vanilla extract. Make sure that they are well combined.
5. Add your wet ingredients to your dry ingredients:
Pour your wet ingredients into your dry ingredients and mix until they are just combined. Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake.
6. Fold in your apples and pine nuts:
Add your grated or chopped apples and chopped pine nuts to the batter and fold them in gently. Again, do not overmix.
7. Bake your cake:
Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
8. Cool and glaze:
Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely. You can glaze the cake with a simple powdered sugar glaze, or drizzle it with caramel or a cream cheese frosting.

With its warm spices, sweet apples, and crunchy pine nuts, it is a comforting and flavorful treat that is easy to make. Whether you are a beginner baker or an experienced home cook, this recipe is sure to impress. Give it a try and enjoy the delicious flavors of fall in every bite.
There is nothing more delicious than the smell of freshly baked apple pine nut bundt cake. This dessert is not only scrumptious but also very easy to make. The combination of sweet apples and crunchy pine nuts makes this a perfect fall recipe. If you're interested in making this dessert, here are some valuable tips that will make your apple pine nut bundt cake a huge success.

Tip 1: Choose the Right Apples

The type of apples you choose will have a big impact on the flavor of your apple pine nut bundt cake. Granny Smith apples are a popular choice for baking because they are tart, firm, and hold their shape well. However, you can also use Honeycrisp, Rome, or any other tart apples. Avoid using sweet apples like Red Delicious as they do not hold up well in baked goods and become mushy.

Tip 2: Toast the Pine Nuts

Toasting the pine nuts before adding them to the batter will enhance their flavor and give them a nutty and crunchy texture. Preheat your oven to 350°F and spread the pine nuts on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown. Let the pine nuts cool before adding them to the batter.

Tip 3: Measure Your Ingredients Carefully

Baking is all about precision, so measuring your ingredients carefully is crucial to the success of your apple pine nut bundt cake. Use measuring cups and spoons to ensure you have the exact amount of flour, sugar, and other ingredients. It's also essential to sift your flour before measuring it to prevent lumps in your batter.

Tip 4: Follow the Recipe Closely

Recipes are carefully crafted and tested to ensure they deliver the best results. Follow the recipe closely, including the order in which ingredients are added, the mixing time, and the baking temperature and time. Making even minor adjustments to the recipe can result in a cake that doesn’t rise correctly or has a different texture or flavor than intended.

Tip 5: Prepare the Bundt Pan

The bundt pan is the key to making a beautiful cake. Make sure you prepare the pan correctly to avoid any sticking or tearing. Apply a thin layer of cooking spray or brush the inside of the pan with melted butter, then dust it lightly with flour. This will help the cake release easily from the pan after baking.

Tip 6: Don't Overmix the Batter

Overmixing the batter can result in a tough cake that doesn't rise correctly. Mix the ingredients until just combined, and do not overmix. When adding the dry ingredients, add them in small batches, and mix on low speed until just combined. Be gentle with the batter and mix only until you can no longer see any dry ingredients.

Tip 7: Cool the Cake

Once the cake is baked, let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before removing it. This will allow the cake to settle and release any steam, making it easier to remove from the pan. Then gently turn the cake out onto a wire rack and let it cool completely before serving.

Tip 8: Serve with a Delicious Topping

A topping can add a burst of flavor and texture to your apple pine nut bundt cake. Whipped cream, caramel sauce, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar are popular choices. You can also make a glaze by mixing powdered sugar with milk or apple juice and drizzling it over the top of the cake. Be creative and experiment with different toppings to see what suits your taste buds.

Conclusion

With these valuable tips, making a perfect apple pine nut bundt cake is now possible. Remember to choose the right apples, measure your ingredients carefully, follow the recipe closely, prepare the bundt pan correctly, be gentle with the batter, cool the cake, and top it off with something delectable. Enjoy the amazing taste and texture of this cake with your loved ones.
