Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Walnuts | 1/2 cup |
| Instant butterscotch pudding mix | 1 box |
| Eggs | 4 |
| Canola oil | 1/2 cup |
| Cold water | 1/2 cup |
| Granny Smith apples | 3, chopped |
| Golden raisins (optional) | 1 cup |
| Icing sugar | For dusting |
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). This ensures it’s ready when your cake batter is prepared.
-
-
Prepare Pan: Grease and flour a tube or bundt pan. Sprinkle the bottom with the chopped walnuts to add a delightful crunch to your cake. Set the prepared pan aside.
-
Mix Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, instant butterscotch pudding mix, eggs, canola oil, and cold water. Use a mixer at medium speed to beat the mixture for about 3 minutes or until it’s well blended and smooth.
-
Incorporate Apples: Stir in the chopped Granny Smith apples into the batter. If you prefer a bit of extra sweetness and texture, add golden raisins to the batter as well.
-
Pour Batter: Transfer the prepared batter into the greased and floured pan, spreading it evenly.
-
Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 55 to 65 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a tester into the center of the cake; it should come out clean when it’s ready.
-
Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. This helps it set properly before removing it from the pan.
-
Final Touch: Once cooled, carefully turn the cake out onto a cooling rack. Let it cool completely before serving.
-
Dust with Sugar: Before serving, you can dust the cake with icing sugar for an extra touch of sweetness and a beautiful presentation.
Serving Suggestions:
This Granny Smith Cake is wonderful on its own, but you can also serve it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat. Pair it with a hot cup of coffee or tea for a cozy dessert experience.
