Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter, at room temperature
  • 2 cups Granulated Sugar
  • 4 Large Eggs, at room temperature
  • 3 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 cup Sour Cream, at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Apple Butter
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and prepare a 10-12 cup Bundt pan or a 10-inch tube pan by greasing it with shortening or butter and dusting it with flour.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the room temperature unsalted butter and granulated sugar. Beat on medium-high speed for about 5-7 minutes until very light, pale, and fluffy.
  3. Reduce the mixer speed to medium-low and add the room temperature eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl frequently.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  5. In another small bowl, whisk together the room temperature sour cream and vanilla extract.
  6. With the mixer on low speed, begin adding the dry ingredient mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the sour cream mixture. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing only until just combined after each addition.
  7. Spoon about half of the cake batter into your prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Dollop half of your apple butter (about 1/2 cup) over the batter in small spoonfuls.
  8. Gently cover the apple butter with the remaining cake batter, spreading it carefully. Dollop the remaining apple butter (about 1/2 cup) on top of this second layer of batter.
  9. Using a thin knife or skewer, gently swirl the apple butter through the batter, making broad, sweeping motions without going too deep.
  10. Place the pan in your preheated oven and bake for 65-80 minutes, or until a wooden skewer or toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
  11. Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 15-20 minutes before carefully inverting it onto the wire rack to cool completely.
