Apple cinnamon bundt cake recipe

Apple cinnamon bundt cake
Made: 1 bundt cake + 3 square muffins

300g all-purpose flour
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
½ tsp baking soda
225g unsalted butter, melted
230g sugar (*cake is sweet, may want to cut down more)
4 large eggs
6 apples, peeled, cored, and sliced ½ cm thick (may want to cut into small squares)

1.     Preheat oven to 170°C. Coat bundt cake pan with some oil/butter.

2.     In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.

3.     In a large bowl, melt the butter in a microwave. Add in the sugar and mix well. Then add in the eggs (one at a time) and whisk until smooth.

4.     Gradually whisk in dry ingredients just until combined (do not overmix). Using a rubber spatula, fold in apples.

5.     Spoon batter into a nonstick Bundt pan, and smooth top. Bake until a tester inserted in cake comes out clean, 55 minutes (square muffins: 25mins). Cool in pan on rack 15 minutes; invert onto rack to cool completely.

Glaze (optional):
Whisk together confectioners' sugar and enough water to form a thick yet pourable glaze. Set rack with cake over a piece of wax paper (for easy cleanup); drizzle cake with glaze, and let set before serving.
