Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 2 cups Granulated Sugar
  • 1 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil
  • 3 Large Eggs room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 3 cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 3 medium Granny Smith Apples peeled, cored and diced

For the Brown Sugar Glaze:

  • 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter
  • 1/4 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 1 cup Light Brown Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 cup Confectioners Sugar

Instructions

For the Cake:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and grease and flour a bundt pan (10 cup bundt pan).
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat together the sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla extract and eggs until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, ground cinnamon, salt and baking soda.
  • Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  • Then gently stir in the diced apples.
  • Pour the batter into the bundt pan.  Gently tap the bundt pan on the counter top to even out the cake batter and remove any air bubbles from the batter.
  • Bake the cake in the center rack in the oven for 55-70 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  • Remove from the oven and let the cake cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes.
  • Then carefully turn the bundt pan over onto the rack to cool completely.

For the Glaze:

  • Add the butter, heavy whipping cream and brown sugar to a medium sauce pan.
  • Stir constantly until the butter has melted.  Then bring the mixture to a boil and boil for approximately 1 minute.
  • Remove from heat, stir in the vanilla extract and confectioner’s sugar.  Let the glaze sit for 5-10 minutes to thicken some.
  • Spoon the glaze over the top of the cake and then the cake is ready to slice, serve and enjoy!

Notes

Refrigerate the leftovers, covered, for up to 5 days.
