Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix cake ingredients together and pour into a greased and floured 9x13-inch pan or a Bundt pan.
- Bake at 350°F for 1 hour until golden and cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar. If you don't have pecans, walnuts or almonds can serve as a great alternative. To make the cake even moister, add a splash of apple juice or replace some of the water with applesauce. Be sure to dice the apples evenly for consistent baking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm for a delightful dessert experience, drizzled with the rich rum sauce. A scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream complements the cake beautifully. This pairs wonderfully with a cup of coffee or tea, making it a perfect choice for an afternoon treat. For a unique twist, try it alongside Lucy'S Biscuits(Tennessee Ridge).
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week. To reheat, place slices in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds or warm in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes until heated through.
