Ingredients
- 8 tbsp Danish Creamery Unsalted European Style Butter, softener
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 2 eggs + 1 yolk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup raw local honey, plus more for serving
- 2 cups all purpose flour, unbleached
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 medium size Gala Apples, peeled, cored and chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease and flour a bundt cake pan, or an 8″ round cake pan.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream butter, sugar and brown sugar. Add the eggs and yolk and continue mixing. Add the vanilla, milk and honey.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt. Set aside.
- Chop the apples into small chunks. Reserve 1/4 cup of the dry mixture and stir the apples. This prevents the apples from sinking.
- Add the dry ingredients, one cup at a time, to the wet mix. Continue mixing at medium-low speed until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Fold in the apple chunks. Transfer to prepared cake pan and smooth out the top with an angled spatula.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, if using a bundt pan. And for 45-50 if using a round cake pan.
- Allow to cool for 15 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack or cake stand.
- If decorating as pictured, slice 1/2 apple and arrange them onto one side of the cake.
- When ready to serve, slice and drizzle some warm honey on top. Avoid adding honey to the entire cake so that it doesn’t get soggy.
