By zircon50

Ingredients

• 3 c. flour
• 2 tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
• 1 c. (2 sticks) butter (at room temperature)
• 2 c. packed brown sugar
• 1/4 c. honey
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 2 eggs
• 2 cups chopped apples (optional)
• 2 c. apple butter
• 1 c. walnuts or pecans (optional)
• confectioner’s sugar (for dusting)
• vanilla ice cream (optional accompaniment)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.

In a mixer, beat the butter, honey and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until combined. With the mixer on low, add the bowl of dry ingredients until combined. The batter will be really thick.

Beat in the apple butter, chopped apples (if using) and nuts (optional).

Butter a bundt or tube pan. Transfer batter to the pan and smooth out the top.

Bake at least 60 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean and not gooey.

Let cake cool completely before loosening the cake with a butter knife and inverting onto a serving plate. Dust with confectioner’s sugar.

Serve warm or at room temperature with vanilla ice cream, if you like.
