Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a Bundt pan thoroughly.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In a large bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and oil until well combined.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and applesauce if using.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  6. Fold in the chopped apples and nuts (if using).
  7. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15–20 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. If using the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, milk or cider, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
