Nurodymai

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 12-cup bundt pan and lightly flour. Set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.

In another large bowl (the bowl of your stand mixer or a large bowl + a hand mixer), mix together oil, eggs, orange juice, and vanilla. Then mix in the 2 cups of sugar. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until JUST combined. Careful not to over mix! Batter should be thick but pourable.

Combine the apples in a large bowl with the remaining 5 tablespoons of sugar, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves.

Spoon 1/3 of the batter into the pan. Add half of the apple mixture in an even layer, then add another 1/3 of the batter. Follow with the remaining apples and the last 1/3 batter.

Bake for 1 hour 10 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 mins, then carefully turn it out onto a rack to finish cooling.

To make the drizzle, beat the cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy. Then beat in the powdered sugar, maple syrup, salt, and enough milk to get a thick but runny glaze. Keep beating until smooth. Drizzle all over your cooled cake.

Garnish with walnuts for an extra pretty finish!
