Apple Dapple Cake

Recipe View Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Thoroughly grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan to prevent sticking. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

Recipe View Cream the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, and softened butter. Beat with an electric mixer until the mixture is light, smooth, and creamy. (Mixing time: 5 minutes)

Recipe View Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until evenly distributed. (Mixing time: 3 minutes)

Recipe View Combine Dry and Wet: Gradually add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (Mixing time: 5 minutes)

Recipe View Fold in Additions: Gently fold in the diced apples, flaked coconut, raisins, and chopped walnuts until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter. (Mixing time: 5 minutes)

Recipe View Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared tube pan and spread evenly. Bake in the preheated oven until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. This may take approximately 90 minutes.

Recipe View Cool: Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate or cooling rack. (Cooling time: 10 minutes)

Recipe View Prepare Glaze: While the cake is cooling, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, butter, and milk. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Once boiling, continue to stir for 1 minute to ensure the sugar is fully dissolved. (Cooking time: 5 minutes)

Recipe View Glaze: Pour the warm glaze evenly over the warm cake, allowing it to seep into the crevices. Let the glaze set slightly before serving. (Glazing time: 2 minutes)
