Description

This Apple Cinnamon Bundt Cake is a moist and flavorful dessert perfect for any occasion. Bursting with chunks of baking apples, warm cinnamon spice, and crunchy walnuts, this cake features a tender crumb made from a mix of whole wheat and regular flour, oats, and scented with vanilla. Topped with a luscious cream cheese icing drizzled with honey and sprinkled with extra walnuts, it offers a delightful balance of sweetness and texture.

Ingredients

Apple Mixture

  • 3 baking apples, diced
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts (plus more for topping)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp cinnamon

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup regular flour
  • 1 cup oats
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 3 eggs

Cream Cheese Icing

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 4 tbsp milk
  • 4 tbsp honey
  • 1 cup cream cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325ºF to ensure it reaches the ideal baking temperature.
  2. Prepare Apple Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples, chopped walnuts, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Stir gently to evenly coat the ingredients with the spices and vanilla.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, regular flour, oats, baking soda, and salt until well mixed.
  4. Mix Wet Ingredients and Batter: In a large bowl, beat together the sugar, brown sugar, coconut oil, and eggs until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Gradually fold in the dry flour mixture, followed by the apple and walnut mixture, until just combined.
  5. Fill Bundt Pan and Bake: Grease a bundt pan thoroughly. Pour the batter into the pan and press it gently into the creases to create an even layer. Bake at 325ºF for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool Cake: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then carefully invert it onto a cake stand or plate.
  7. Prepare Cream Cheese Icing: Beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and honey until the icing is smooth and creamy.
  8. Finish the Cake: Pour the cream cheese icing over the cooled bundt cake. Sprinkle additional chopped walnuts on top as garnish. Slice and serve.

Notes

  • Ensure apples are diced evenly for consistent baking.
  • You can substitute walnuts with pecans if preferred.
  • Using a mix of whole wheat and regular flour adds a nice texture and wholesome flavor.
  • Pressing batter into the creases of the bundt pan helps the cake bake evenly with an attractive shape.
  • Allow cake to cool thoroughly before icing to prevent melting.
  • Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
  • For a nut-free version, omit walnuts and top with toasted coconut flakes.
