A dense cake flavoured with maple extract and cinnamon, dotted with plenty of apple peices - one of my husband's faves. Serve warm (with custard and/or ice cream) or cold (as is). Travels well and serves about 16-18 slices. Can be made the day before. No icing needed.

Ingredients

  • - 4 cups chopped and peeled apples (small chunks)
  • - 1 cup vegetable oil (not olive)
  • - 4 eggs, at room temp.
  • - 1 cup sugar
  • - 1 cup brown sugar
  • - 1/4 cup orange juice
  • - 1 tablespoon maple extract
  • - 3 cups flour
  • - 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • - 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • - 1/4 teaspoon salt

How To Make betty's apple, maple and cinnamon bunt cake

  • Step 1
    Pre-heat oven for 350oF (175oC). Well grease a 10 inch (25cm) bunt tin and set aside. Peel, core and dice the apples. Set aside.
  • Step 2
    In a large bowl, beat the oil, eggs, orange juice, maple extract and sugars together until smooth. About 2-3 minutes.
  • Step 3
    Add in the flour, cinnamon, salt and baking powder. Beat until incorporated. Fold in the apples. The mixture will be chunky and sort of thin - this is right.
  • Step 4
    Pour the batter into the prepared tin. Bake in the pre-heated oven for 55-65 minutes or until it springs back when touched. Cool in the tin for 10 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
