Ingredients
– 3 large eggs
– 3/4 cup honey
– 1/2 cup white sugar
– 1/4 cup light brown sugar
– 1 1/4 cups canola oil
– 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– 3 cups all-purpose baking flour
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
– 3/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
– Dash of ground cloves
– 4 Granny Smith apples peeled, cored, and shredded (with juice)
– 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
– 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 to 2 tablespoons water or non-dairy creamer
Instructions
1-Preheating and Preparing: Preheat the oven to 325Β°F (165Β°C) and grease a 9-inch Bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking. This step ensures your cake bakes evenly and releases smoothly later. Taking a moment here makes the whole process smoother, especially for busy professionals or baking enthusiasts.
2-Mixing the Batter: Beat 3 large eggs until frothy, then whisk in 3/4 cup honey, 1/2 cup white sugar, 1/4 cup light brown sugar, 1 1/4 cups canola oil, and 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract. In another bowl, sift together 3 cups all-purpose baking flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice, and a dash of ground cloves. Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet ones until just mixed, then fold in the 4 shredded Granny Smith apples and their juice for extra moisture.
3-: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, making sure itβs no more than 3/4 full to avoid overflow. Smooth the surface to remove any air pockets, which helps the cake bake evenly. This method keeps the texture light and flavorful, perfect for sharing with friends and family.
4-Baking and Finishing: Bake for 75 to 90 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a plate, then allow it to cool completely. For the icing, mix 1 cup powdered sugar and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract, adding 1/2 to 2 tablespoons water or non-dairy creamer gradually until itβs thick like honey. Transfer to a bag, snip the corner, and drizzle over the cake in a zig-zag pattern, then let it dry for 30 to 60 minutes.
