Instructions

To make the cake:

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Liberally grease and flour a 12 cup bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, beat together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well combined. Stir in the vanilla.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the dry ingredients.
  4. Add half of the dry ingredients alternately with half of the apple cider and mix until combined, repeating until all is used. Batter should be smooth and pourable.
  5. Pour into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool for 20 minutes in the pan before removing to a cake stand or plate. Cool completely before adding the topping.

To top the cake:

  1. Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a small dish. Stir well.
  2. Use a pastry brush to brush the outside of the cake with the melted butter.
  3. Sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar mixture over the cake, using your hands to press it into the sides to fully coat the cake.
  4. Slice and serve.

Notes

  • If you're unable to find apple cider, you may use apple juice instead.
  • The butter and cinnamon sugar is what gives this cake that deep-fried richness and crackly crust of an apple cider donut. Don't skip this step!
