For a good, old-fashioned Bundt cake recipe with a modern twist, this apple Bundt cake stands out.

Begin by preheating your oven to 350ºF. Liberally spray a Bundt pan with non-stick spray and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves, whisking to combine. Add in the shredded Cabot Seriously Sharp Cheddar cheese, tossing together so that the flour mixture coats the cheese. Set aside.
Combine Cabot Unsalted Butter and brown sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment affixed. Cream together until light and fluffy, about five minutes. Scrape down the bowl and the paddle and then add the egg and mix until just combined.
Next, add the apple cider vinegar, vanilla and unsweetened applesauce, mixing to combine. FYI: The mixture will look strange and curdled – don’t worry, that’s normal!
Add the flour mixture to the mixer. Mix on low speed until just combined.
Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the batter a few times. Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the cake springs back when gently poked. Once out of the oven, allow the cake to rest for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a cake round. Cool cake completely before removing it from the pan.
