Apple-Cinnamon Bundt Cake

       

 
Serves 10
 
 
  For the cake:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
 
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
 
2 teaspoons baking powder
 
1 teaspoon salt
 
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
 
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
 
1 1/2 cups packed light-brown sugar
 
4 large eggs
 
6 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced 1/4 inch thick
 
  For the Glaze:
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
 
1 to 2 tablespoons water
 
  1.   Preheat oven to 350°. Make the cake: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
 
  2.   In a large bowl, combine butter, brown sugar, and eggs. Whisk until smooth. Gradually whisk in dry ingredients just until combined (do not overmix). Using a rubber spatula, fold in apples. Spoon batter into a 12-cup nonstick Bundt pan, and smooth top. Bake until a tester inserted in cake comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Cool in pan on rack 15 minutes; invert onto rack to cool completely.
 
  3.   Make the Glaze: 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.

    Note: If you have a large microwave-safe bowl, use it to melt the butter in the microwave for step two. If your nonstick Bundt pan is old or scratched, coat it with nonstick cooking spray before filling with batter, to ensure the cake releases easily.
