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

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