Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 medium apple, peeled, cored, and chopped (about 1 cup)
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (for the topping)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for the topping)
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted (for the topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- Prepare the batter: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Alternate adding dry ingredients and wet ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the sour cream and milk. Mix until just combined.
- Add apples and nuts: Gently fold in the chopped apple and walnuts or pecans (if using).
- Prepare the topping: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. Drizzle the melted butter over the batter in the bundt pan, then sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture over the batter.
- Bake the cake: Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it. Let it cool completely on a wire rack. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- For a sweeter twist, drizzle the cake with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk.
- You can substitute the apple with other fruits like pears or berries for a different flavor.
- If you prefer a dairy-free version, substitute the sour cream with a non-dairy yogurt and use plant-based milk.
