Instructions
- BUNDT CAKE
- As always, gather, weigh out, and prepare all ingredients prior to mixing. Preheat the oven to 375Ëšf/190Ëšc with rack in the center position.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, spices, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, add sour cream and milk, whisk to combine. Set aside.
- In the bowl of your stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar until it is light and fluffy, approx 5 minutes. Now add eggs, mixing one at a time until fully incorporated. On low speed, slowly add Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk until fully incorporated, followed by apple butter, orange zest, and vanilla. Mix to combine.
- Using a rubber spatula, scrape down the sides of the bowl. With the mixer on low, add a third of the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Pour in half of the sour cream and milk mixture, mixing until fully incorporated, then pour in the rest, continuing to mix until the cake batter is velvety smooth. Caution: Do not over mix the batter or your cake will be dense.
- AUTUMNAL SPICE SUGAR FILLING
- In a small bowl, whisk sugar, spices, cocoa, and espresso powder together. Set aside.
- ICING
- In a medium bowl, whisk powdered sugar, vanilla, heavy cream, and salt together until combined. Set aside.
- SUGAR COATING
- In a small bowl, whisk sugar and allspice together. Set aside.
- ASSEMBLY
- Prepare your bundt pan (10 cup or larger) with a non-stick spray. Pour a third of that cake batter into the bundt pan. Top the batter with half of the sugar spice mixture, then repeat with remaining ingredients. Tap the pan on the counter a few times to pop any air bubbles, then place in your preheated oven. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a skewer (or toothpick) comes out clean.
- Allow your cake to cool in the pan for about 20 minutes, then turn the cake out onto a baking rack. Allow the cake to cool completely (1-3 hours) before sugar-coating and icing.
- Place cake on your chosen serving dish, board, or platter. Generously coat bundt cake with melted butter and dose with sugar coating mixture, then allow to cool. Once cool, top with icing — you want this icing to be extremely thick as gravity will slowly allow the icing to drop and settle into place. Once the icing has set, approx 30 mins, it’s now time to slice and enjoy!
