directions

  • Heat the oven to 350°F Butter and flour a 10-cup Bundt pan and set aside.
  • For the streusel: Blend the brown sugar, ginger, cinnamon, flour, and butter with your fingers or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles large breadcrumbs.
  • Mix in the walnuts and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • For the cake: Sift together the flour, ground ginger, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a large bowl. Stir in the ginger and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually add the sugars, continuing to beat until very light.
  • Add the vanilla and then the eggs one at a time, beating each one in well before adding the next.
  • Alternately stir in the flour mixture and the buttermilk, until he batter is just mixed. Don't overeat or your cake will be tough.
  • Gently stir in the chopped apple.
  • Pour half the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with a third of the streusel.
  • Pour in the remaining batter and top with the remaining streusel. The streusel will sink in a little during baking to make a swirl.
  • Bake until the top of the cake is firm (a skewer inserted in the center should come out clean), about 40 to 45 minutes.
  • Cool for 15 minutes in the pan on a wire rack. Invert the cake onto a serving platter, dust with confectioners' sugar, and serve slightly warm or at room temperature.

  1. First, I have to say that I needed to make this more diabetic friendly so I used all Splenda (brown and white) and made the "buttermilk" withe skim milk and lemon juice. And to suite our tastes I used a 1/2 tsp of both ginger and cinnamon in the struesel as well as a bit less candied ginger in the cake. That said, it came out wonderfully scrumptious and with a great texture. Ginger and apple, what a perfect Fall flavor combo. :D

<p>My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) <br /><br />5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
