Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 3 cups peeled and diced apples such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp
- For the Maple Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan thoroughly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in the diced apples until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake is cooling, prepare the maple glaze. In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the maple glaze evenly over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.
