Best Apple Walnut Bundt Cake Recipes

APPLE WALNUT BUNDT CAKE

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.

APPLE SOUR CREAM CINNAMON WALNUT BUNDT CAKE

Steps:

• Set oven to 350°F.
• Set oven rack to second-lowest position.
• Generously butter a bundt pan and then flour (shaking out excess flour).
• In a bowl mix together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
• In a small food processor, PULSE the walnuts, 2-3 teaspoons cinnamon and 1/2 cup sugar until the nuts are chopped.
• Add in 1/4 cup melted butter and pulse once or twice to combine; set aside.
• To make the cake: In a large bowl beat the 1 cup softened butter with 1-1/4 cups sugar at high speed with an electric mixer for about 5 minutes.
• Add in eggs and beat well.
• Beat in sour cream and vanilla until smooth and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
• Reduce the speed to low and add in the flour mixture, mixing just until blended (the batter will be thick).
• Add in the chopped apples; mix to combine.
• Sprinkle half of the nut mixture evenly into bottom of the bundt pan.
• Spoon half of the batter on top of the nut mixture, spreading out with a spatula, then sprinkle the remaining nut mixture on top of the batter, then top/dollop with remaining cake batter, spreading out with a spoon.
• Bake for about 50 minutes, or until cake tests done.
• Cool cake in the pan on a rack for about 1 hour, then run a thin knife around the inner edges.
• Place rack on top of the pan, then flip to invert onto rack.
• Cool completely.
• *NOTE* this cake can be baked in a tube pan, just layer the cinnamon/nut mix twice between three layers of cake batter instead of sprinkling on the bottom of the pan. Layer as follows.
• A third of the cake batter in the bottom of the pan then sprinkle with half of the nut mixture, then another third batter on top, the the remaining nut mixture then the remaining third of cake batter.
• This method works quite well, but will produce a higher cake that might take a longer time to bake.

BONNIE'S APPLE WALNUT BUNDT CAKE WITH RUM ICING

Steps:

• 1. Cook's Tip: I found that in my oven, it took about 50 minutes for the cake to get done. I tented it with foil to slow the browning. Check with a tooth pick in the middle and if it comes clean, it is done. Cake will pull away from the sides of the pan.
• 2. PREPARE THE CAKE: In a large mixing bowl, place the cake mix and the ingredients according to the directions on the box, add the walnuts. Grease and flour a 10 inch bundt pan. Pour the batter in the pan. Dice the apples in the pie filling into small pieces, and spoon the filling evenly over the batter. Don't push it down.
• 3. BAKE THE CAKE: Place the cake in the oven and bake according to the package directions. Note that it may take more time than indicated because of the addition of the pie filling. Use the toothpick test to check if it is done. Cool the cake 15 minutes, make sure it is loose, and then turn over on a foil lined tray. Cool completely before icing. Enjoy!
• 4. RUM ICING RECIPE: Bring the following to room temperature 2 tablespoons of butter 2 ounces of cream cheese 1/2 cup powdered sugar 1/2 teaspoon to 1 teaspoon of rum extract (taste at 1/2 teaspoon to make sure it isn't too strong) With an electric mixer and small mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, extract, and butter until well mixed, and then add the powdered sugar and beat until smooth.
