Classic Apple Cake Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups white sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1.25 cups vegetable oil
• 3 large eggs
• 0.25 cup orange juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup apple - peeled, cored, and chopped
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• 1 cup flaked coconut
• 1 cup white sugar
• 0.5 cup buttermilk
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan to prevent sticking.
2. In a large bowl, mix flour, 2 cups sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Create a well in the center, then add oil, eggs, orange juice, and vanilla extract. Mix until combined, then stir in apple, walnuts, and coconut. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for 75 to 90 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove the cake from oven, then poke holes all over it using a chopstick.
4. In a saucepan, bring 1 cup sugar, buttermilk, butter, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda to a boil to make the glaze.
5. Pour the hot glaze evenly over the cake. Let it stand for 1 hour, then carefully turn cake out onto a serving plate.
