Amazing Apple Bundt Cake!

  • This apple bundt cake recipe is a showstopper when served, every slice has a sweet cream cheese filling.
  • I love that this cake has ingredients I always have on hand.
  • Bake a day ahead, this cake stays moist for days!
  • Serve as a breakfast cake with coffee, an afternoon treat with tea, or a sweet dessert with a drizzle of caramel sauce, or with some warm apple cider.

Ingredients for Apple Bundt Cake

Apples – Any variety will do if they are fresh! Granny Smith apples are my first choice for their tart flavor and texture.

Carrots – Shredded carrots are sweet and add moisture to this apple bundt cake, however, shredded zucchini will get the job done as well.

Seasonings – A dash of cinnamon gives this cake extra flavor and a heavenly aroma! Swap it for apple pie spice if you have it to really “take the cake!”

Add-ins – Mix in any of the following: dried cranberries, currants, raisins, mini chocolate chips, or butterscotch chips.

Glaze – Even though apple cake shines on its own, this brown sugar glaze is extra thick and rich because it’s made with butter and heavy cream. In a pinch, make a simple glaze with some milk whisked into powdered sugar until the consistency is just right.

How to Make Apple Bundt Cake

  1. Prepare cream cheese filling (as per the recipe below) and set aside.
  2. Mix the wet and dry ingredients in separate bowls, and then combine. Fold in apples, carrots, and nuts.
  3. Layer half the batter in the bottom of a bundt pan, followed by cream cheese filling and the rest of the batter.
  4. Bake, cool, and top with a brown sugar glaze.

PRO TIP: For easy pan release, combine equal parts flour, shortening, and vegetable oil and brush evenly onto the pan.

How to Store Apple Bundt Cake

  • Keep leftover apple bundt cake in the refrigerator (because of the dairy ingredients) for up to 4 days.
  • Serve chilled or let it come to room temperature.
  • Freeze slices wrapped in plastic wrap and a zippered bag for up to 2 months.
