• 1 ½ cups peeled and diced apples (about 2 medium apples)
• ½ cup sliced almonds (plus extra for topping)

For the Glaze:

• ½ teaspoon almond extract (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Bundt Pan:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan, or use a non-stick baking spray.

Make the Cake:

3. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
4. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
5. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with buttermilk. Start and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
7. Gently fold in the diced apples and sliced almonds.
8. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Bake:

9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Make the Glaze:

11. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and almond extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk or sugar as needed.

Serve:

12. Once the cake is cool, drizzle the glaze over the top and sprinkle with additional sliced almonds if desired.
