3. 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
4. 3/4 tsp Kosher or Fine Sea Salt
5. 1 1/2 C Vegetable Oil
6. 1 1/4 C Sugar, + 1/4 C Sugar
7. 1/2 C Light Brown Sugar, Packed
8. 3 Large Eggs
9. 1 Tbs Pure Vanilla Extract
10. 4 Medium Apples (1 3/4lbs) peeled, cored and grated
11. 1 Tbs Ground Cinnamon

2. 1/3 C Heavy Cream
3. 1/4 C Butter
4. 1/8 tsp Kosher or Fine Sea Salt
5. 1 C Powdered Sugar

Cake

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a 10-inch bundt cake pan with non-stick cooking spray, coat with flour and set aside.
2. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a mixing bowl and whisk.
3. In another mixing bowl or a mixer, whisk together oil with 1 1/4C sugar, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla.
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir well.
5. Squeeze the grated apples to remove most of the liquid.
6. Stir the apples into the batter.
7. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 C sugar with cinnamon.
8. Spread half the cake batter into the prepared pan.
9. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top, and cover with the remaining batter.
10. Bake for 1.5 hours or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
11. Let cool in the pan for ten minutes before removing to a wire rack to finish cooling completely.

Glaze

1. In a small, heavy saucepan, combine brown sugar, cream, butter and salt, and cook over medium-low heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Beat in the powdered sugar.
2. Drizzle over fully cooled cake.

Notes

1. Though the glaze contains butter and heavy cream, the cake itself is dairy free.
2. Grating the apples, instead of chopping them, keeps the cake moist and the apples evenly distributed throughout.
