1-Getting started with this Double Apple Bundt Cake recipe is a breeze once you follow these simple steps. First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9- to 10-inch Bundt pan with butter, then dust it with flour or use baking spray to avoid any sticking issues. Get your ingredients ready by measuring them out and shredding the apples ahead of time.

2-Next, in a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger; set that aside for now. In a larger bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar on high speed with an electric mixer until it’s smooth and creamy, which takes about 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating for a full minute after each to make the mixture light and fluffy.

3-Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the apple butter, then mix in the shredded apples until everything is well incorporated. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined to keep the batter from getting tough. Finally, fold in the toasted pecans for that extra crunch.

4-Final Baking Steps Pour the batter into your prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top for even baking. Pop it in the oven and bake for 50 55 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes before flipping it onto a wire rack to cool completely. For an even better taste, wrap the cake tightly in plastic and let it rest overnight at room temperature.
