Apple ring cakes

Introduction:

Apple ring cakes, also known as apple bundt cakes, are a delicious dessert that combines the tartness of fresh apples with a soft, moist cake. This cake is perfect for cozy autumn days or any time you crave the comforting flavors of apples and cinnamon. It is often baked in a ring mold or bundt pan, creating an impressive shape that is ideal for gatherings. The cake can be served as-is or with a light dusting of powdered sugar, or even with a sweet glaze or caramel sauce.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder
• ½ teaspoon of baking soda
• 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon of nutmeg (optional)
• ½ teaspoon of salt
• ½ cup of unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup of granulated sugar
• ½ cup of brown sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• ¾ cup of milk or buttermilk
• 2-3 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
• Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a bundt pan or a round cake pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and salt.
3. In a separate large bowl, cream the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk or buttermilk, and mix until just combined.
5. Fold the apple slices into the batter gently.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
7. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar or glaze with caramel sauce if desired.
