Apple Honey Cake

Below is the visual of the sweet delight we’re going to prepare:

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup honey
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 large eggs
2 cups grated apples (about 2-3 apples, peeled and cored)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch bundt pan or an equivalent cake pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, honey, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each one is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the grated apples and vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until combined. If you’re using nuts, fold them in at this point.
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve your apple honey cake plain, or optionally drizzle with additional honey or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for added sweetness.

This apple honey cake is more than just a dessert; it’s a perfect way to bring in sweetness and warmth into your gatherings. Enjoy every bite and share the joy with your loved ones!
