Ingredients
  

  • 250 g all-purpose flour
  • 200 g granulated sugar

  • 150 ml vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 300 g apples, peeled and diced (about 3 medium apples)
  • 160 ml buttermilk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 50 g sesame seeds, toasted optional
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting optional

Equipment

  • Heatproof mixing bowl
  • Electric mixer or whisk

  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Cooling rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and generously grease a bundt pan with non-stick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Whisk together until well combined.
  3. Add the vegetable oil, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Mix with a whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
  4. Gently fold in the diced apples until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
  7. Allow the cake to rest in the pan for about 10 minutes before carefully inverting it onto a cooling rack.
  8. While the cake cools, toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden and fragrant, about 3–5 minutes.
  9. Once the cake is completely cool, sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the top or down the center as a crunchy garnish before serving.
  10. Slice and enjoy your delicious One-Bowl Apple Bundt Cake!

Notes

For a different flavor twist, consider substituting half of the diced apples with ripe pears or crushed pineapple.
Don’t hesitate to get creative with the mix-ins; walnuts or dried cranberries can add delightful textures!
Store any leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate it for up to a week. You can also freeze slices for future indulgence—just wrap them well!
Reheat slices in the microwave for a few seconds to enjoy that freshly-baked warmth. Enjoy baking!
