Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the bundt pan and dust it with flour.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and ground cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, alternating with the diced apples until fully combined.
Baking
- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cooling & Glazing
- Remove the bundt cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then flip it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the glaze, mix powdered sugar, brown sugar, and enough milk to achieve a smooth consistency. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
