Course: Desserts
Cuisine: American
Servings: 12 Servings

Ingredients

  • 15.25 ounces Spice cake mix - plus eggs, oil, and water called for on the box
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1 cup Applesauce
  • 3 Apples - peeled and diced
  • 1 cup Pecans - chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉.
  • Spray a bundt pan with nonstick baking spray.
  • Mix the cake mix per the box directions, adding the eggs, oil, and water.
  • Stir in the cinnamon and vanilla extract.
  • Add the applesauce, diced apples, and pecans, and mix into the batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan.
  • Bake for 38 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 25 minutes.
  • Turn the cake out onto a wire rack.
  • Let the cake cool completely on the rack.
  • Move the cooled cake to a serving plate.
  • Dust the top with powdered sugar.

Notes

 
  • Grease Thoroughly: Every groove of the bundt pan needs coating, or the cake risks sticking when you turn it out.
  • Cool in the Pan First: Skipping the initial 25-minute cool can cause the cake to break apart instead of releasing cleanly.
  • Dice Apples Evenly: Uniform apple pieces bake more evenly throughout the cake.
  • Check for Doneness: A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean before you pull the cake from the oven.
  • Storage Tip: Keep this cake well wrapped or in an airtight container to stay moist for up to four days.
