Teddie’s Apple Cake is a moist and flavorful cake loaded with thickly sliced apples, cinnamon, and a hint of vanilla. This classic dessert features a tender crumb enhanced by vegetable oil and studded with optional walnuts and raisins for added texture. Perfectly baked in a bundt pan, it offers a homestyle treat best served warm or at room temperature, ideally paired with creamy vanilla ice cream.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 35 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

For the Cake

  • Butter, for greasing pan
  • 3 cups (384 grams) all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting pan
  • 1 1/2 cups (317 grams) vegetable oil
  • 2 cups (400 grams) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups peeled, cored and thickly sliced apples (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
  • 1 cup raisins (optional)

For Serving

  • Vanilla ice cream (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the oven and pan: Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC). Butter a 9-inch tube pan thoroughly, then dust it lightly with flour to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix oil and sugar: In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat together the vegetable oil and sugar. Continue mixing for about 5 minutes until well combined.
  3. Add eggs: Add the eggs to the oil and sugar mixture and beat until the batter becomes creamy and smooth.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together 3 cups of flour, kosher salt, ground cinnamon, and baking soda. This ensures even distribution of leavening and spices.
  5. Incorporate dry ingredients and flavorings: Gradually stir the sifted dry ingredients into the wet batter until just combined. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
  6. Add fruits and nuts: Fold in the thickly sliced apples along with the optional chopped walnuts and raisins, stirring gently to evenly distribute without overmixing.
  7. Bake the cake: Pour the batter into the prepared tube pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool and serve: Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before carefully turning it out onto a plate. Serve at room temperature, optionally accompanied by a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special touch.

Notes

  • Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or sweet varieties like Honeycrisp for best flavor and texture.
  • Walnuts and raisins are optional but add delightful texture and flavor; omit if preferred.
  • Ensure apples are thickly sliced to maintain shape and provide hearty bites throughout the cake.
  • Butter and flour the tube pan well to prevent sticking because of the high moisture content from the apples.
  • Baking times may vary slightly depending on your oven; start checking at 1 hour and use a toothpick test to confirm doneness.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free baking blend suitable for cakes.
