Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ¾ cups (350g) granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240ml) apple cider
  • ½ cup (120ml) sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 ½ cups (180g) powdered sugar
  • 34 tablespoons apple cider (adjust for desired consistency)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease your bundt pan. Dust with flour if needed.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
  3. Using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the apple cider and sour cream (or Greek yogurt) together.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the apple cider mixture. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  7. Transfer the batter into your prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Whisk together powdered sugar, apple cider, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency as needed.
  11. Once the cake is completely cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top. Let it set for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother batter. Grease and flour the bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking. Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing.
