Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups apple cider
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 23 tablespoons apple cider (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your bundt pan well with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Pour 1 ½ cups of apple cider into a saucepan and simmer over medium heat until it reduces to about ¾ cup. Let it cool.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of salt, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, ½ teaspoon of nutmeg, and ¼ teaspoon of cloves.
  4. In another bowl, beat 1 cup of unsalted butter, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and ½ cup of brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  5. Beat in 4 large eggs, one at a time, followed by 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.
  6. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet, alternating with the reduced apple cider, starting and ending with the dry mixture. Mix until just combined.
  7. Transfer the batter to the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack.
  10. Mix 1 cup of powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons of apple cider until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake.

Notes

[‘Reduce the apple cider to intensify its flavor.’, ‘Grease the bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.’, ‘Mix the batter just until combined to avoid a dense cake.’, ‘Let the cake cool completely before glazing.’]
