Apple Spice Cake

A scrumptious, moist cake recipe made lower in fat by replacing some of the fat with orange juice concentrate. Great for potlucks or family gatherings.

Preparation facts

Servings: 15

Yield: 1 bundt cake

Ingredients

Vegetable oil spray

3 eggs

1 1/2 cups (300g) sugar, white

3 cups (360g) unbleached flour, white

2 tsp (8g) baking powder

1 tsp (4g) baking soda

1 tsp (2g) cinnamon

1/2 tsp (1g) nutmeg

1/2 tsp (1g) allspice

1/2 tsp (3g) salt

1/2 cup (120mL) orange juice, frozen concentrate, thawed

1/2 cup (120mL) vegetable oil

1 tsp (5mL) vanilla extract

3 cups (390g) chopped apples, (Granny Smith, Jonagold, or Yellow Delicious), peeled

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Prepare 10-inch (25cm) bundt or tube-type pan with vegetable oil spray.

Beat eggs in a large bowl with an electric mixer until frothy. Add sugar and beat well. In a small bowl, mix dry ingredients together (flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and salt). Add dry ingredients to egg mixture; blend well. Add in orange juice concentrate, oil and vanilla; mix together. Batter will be thick. Fold apples into batter until blended. Pour into prepared bundt pan.

Bake for one hour or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the cake’s center comes out clean.

Cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Carefully remove cake from pan. Allow cake to cool before serving.
