Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Combine 5 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon in a large bowl. Add apple slices; toss to coat. (10 minutes)

03

Step

In a separate bowl, beat flour, 2 cups sugar, oil, eggs, orange juice, baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract until smooth and thoroughly blended. The batter will be thick. (10 minutes)

04

Step

Transfer half of the batter to the prepared pan; top with half of the apple slices. Add the remaining batter and neatly arrange the remaining apple slices on top. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. (75 minutes)

06

Step

Cool in the pan for 1 hour. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a cooling rack to cool completely. (60 minutes)

For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of lemon zest to the batter.
Use a variety of apples for a more complex flavor profile. Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, and Braeburn apples work well together.
Be sure to grease and flour the tube pan thoroughly to prevent the cake from sticking.
The cake is best served at room temperature or slightly warmed.

    My tube pan was smaller than 10 inches so I used a bundt cake pan instead, it came out great!

    The cake was a little dense for my liking, but the flavor was great. I might try adding a little more liquid next time.
