This cake was fantastic and earned rave reviews. I didn’t have whole wheat flour so I just used all-purpose and it came out amazing. I used a smoked maple bourbon I had (yum!) and I accidentally dumped all the glaze on the cake instead of reserving half and it was still perfect.

This recipe is an absolute keeper! The cake comes out moist, rich, and perfectly balanced every time. I swapped the bourbon glaze for caramel icing, and it was just as amazing. Everyone who’s tasted it raves about it!

In reply to Yaarah. Hi! What brand of all-purpose flour did you use? That may help us get to the bottom of it.

I wanted to follow-up now that I made the cake for a friends dinner party and I was in charge of dessert. I didn’t have a bundt pan so I used two 9″ round pans and cooked them for less time, closer to 45ish minutes at the same temperature because the pan was less dense from splitting the batter. I used hard sparkling cider as it was the only thing I had, I would love to try this next time with calvados! Only other change I made to the recipe was adding some cardamon which was an excellent choice.

I received so many compliments, everyone loved the cake and I can’t wait to make it again for any occasion, especially in the fall or winter!

In reply to Rachel Royce. I used all purpose flour in place of the whole wheat. The battery came out very thick like cookie dough. Is it because of the flour I used. Shouldn't it be more like a thick pancake batter?

I LOVE this cake! I am generally not an apple pie person (maybe because I haven’t had a good one), but this cake made me fall in love with apple-baked goods. I have made it twice, once for a neighborhood potluck, and it was a big hit, and once for my college students, and everyone loved it. So moist and flavorful. I love using a Bundt pan. 🙂

This was a huge hit with requests to keep the recipe in my rotation.
Very easy. I love not having to drag out the KitchAid.
Temped to 200° and it was perfectly baked. Very moist.

so so delicious with lots of great apple chucks and flavor. I didn’t have hard cider so used squeezed lemon juice on the apples instead in the cake recipe. I also used lemon juice and a table spoon of apple butter for the honey drizzle sauce… yum! this recipe is a keeper and will be used for years to come. thanks zoe!
