Moist Double Apple Bundt Cake From Restlesschipotlecom Recipes

DOUBLE APPLE BUNDT CAKE

Steps:

• Center a rack in the over and preheat to 350°F.
• Butter and flour a 9-10 inch bundt pan.
• Whisk together the dry ingredients, flour through salt.
• Working with a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment beat the butter and sugar on medium speed, scraping the bowl as needed, for 3 minutes, or until the mixture is smooth, thick, and pale.
• Add the eggs one at a time, beating for about 1 minutes after each addition; you'll have a light fluffy batter.
• Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the apple butter.
• Add the grated apples and mix to completely blend.
• Add the dry ingredients, mixing only until they disappear into the batter.
• Using a rubber spatula, fold in the nuts and raisins.
• Turn the batter into the bundt pan and smooth the top of the batter with the spatula.
• Bake for 50-55 minutes or until a thin knife inserted deep into the center of the cake comes out clean.
• Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes before unmolding.
• Cool completely before serving.
• The cake taste much better after a day or two.

FRESH APPLE BUNDT CAKE

Steps:

• Sift together the flour, salt, and soda (and cinnamon, if used). Add rest of ingredients and mix together until well blended. The mixture will be very thick, heavy, and hard to stir.
• Pour into a greased and floured bundt pan. I prefer the flexible silicone rubber pans as this recipe tends to stick to metal pans.
• Bake 1 hour and 15 minutes at 350 degrees.
• While the cake bakes, prepare the topping by mixing all of the ingredients together.
• As soon as the cake is removed from the oven, and while it is still in the pan, pour the topping over the top. The topping will soak through the cake and down the sides.
• Let cool for 30 minutes, then invert the cake onto a plate and remove the pan.
• Optional - sprinkle with powdered sugar. - Add 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon to the dry ingredients of the mix.
