½teaspoonbaking soda
1tablespoon ground cinnamon
¾teaspoonxanthan gum(, leave out if your flour already has it in it.)
1cupbuttermilk( dairy-free use cashew, almond or coconut milk. Make your own buttermilk by adding 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to the cup of milk and let stand 5-10 minutes.)
3cupsapples(, peeled and chopped)
1cuppecans(, chopped)
Glaze:
⅓cupbutter melted(, dairy-free use Smart Balance of Earth Balance butter)
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar together with your mixer.
Add the rest of the dry and wet cake ingredients to your bowl and mix until fully combined. The batter will be very thick.
Peel and chop the apples into small pieces.
Stir in the chopped apples and chopped pecans and fold into the cake batter with a spoon or spatula.
Pour the batter into the greased bundt pan and bake for 70 minutes until a toothpick entered into the center comes out clean.
Glaze:
Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir continuously until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved. Do not bring to a boil.
Poke holes all over the warm cake with a knife and pour the butter glaze evenly over the cake while still in the pan.
Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan and then invert the cake onto a serving plate. I sprinkled it with powdered sugar.
Enjoy!
