Ingredients
- FOR CAKE:
- 1 1/4 cups canola oil
- 2 cups sugar
- 3 eggs, at room temp
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 cups peeled and diced assorted apples
- 1 cup finely chopped pecans
- FOR GLAZE:
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup evaporated milk
- 8 tablespoons salted butter
Preparation
Step 1
1. Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 325. Grease and lightly flour a bundt pan.
2. Using an electric mixer, cream the oil and sugar in a large bowl. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix well. Sift in the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Mix until well incorporated. The batter will be on the thick side. Add the apples and pecans to the bowl and mix well.
3. Pour the batter into the Bundt pan and bake until a toothpick inserted int eh center of the cake come sour clean, about 1 hour and 10 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, make the glaze: combine the sugar, evaporated milk, and butter in a small saucepan and set over medium heat. Cook, stirring for 3 minutes. Keep warm.
5. When the cake is done, leave it in the pan. Poke holes all over the cake with a skewer or toothpick. Pour three quarters of the glaze on top of the cake while it's in the pan and still hot. The holes will help soak up the glaze. Let it rest for 30 minutes. Invert the cake onto a cake plate and pour the remaining glaze on top.
