Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (355 ml) apple cider
  • ¾ cup (170 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (100 g) brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 ½ cups (315 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (120 ml) whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Pour 1 ½ cups (355 ml) of apple cider into a small saucepan and simmer over medium heat until it reduces to about ¾ cup (175 ml). Let it cool completely.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease your bundt pan with butter or cooking spray.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups (315 g) all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream ¾ cup (170 g) unsalted butter, 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar, and ½ cup (100 g) brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Beat in 3 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  6. Stir in the reduced apple cider, ½ cup (120 ml) whole milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until fully combined.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  8. Transfer the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  10. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully invert onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
  11. Mix ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon in a small bowl.
  12. Once the cake is completely cooled, sprinkle or pat the cinnamon-sugar mixture all over the surface of the cake.

Notes

[‘Reduce the apple cider to concentrate its flavor.’, ‘Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter.’, ‘Grease the bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.’, ‘Avoid overmixing the batter to ensure a tender cake.’, ‘Let the cake cool completely before adding the cinnamon-sugar coating.’]
