Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Sugars

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Pan and Ingredients: Grease your bundt pan thoroughly with butter or non-stick spray and lightly dust with flour to prevent sticking. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it’s ready when your batter is mixed.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. This keeps your flavors evenly distributed and the cake light.
  3. Combine Sugars and Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and oil or melted butter until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla extract, then slowly mix in the apple cider—the key to keeping the cake luscious and moist.
  4. Blend Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet mixture, stirring gently but thoroughly until just combined. Overmixing can lead to a dense cake, so stop when there are no more streaks of flour.
  5. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack.
  6. Optional Glaze or Frosting: Once cooled, you can drizzle a simple powdered sugar glaze or cream cheese frosting over the top to finish this cozy cake with a sweet touch.

Notes

  • Use fresh apple cider for a more vibrant apple flavor.
  • Properly grease and flour your bundt pan to prevent sticking.
  • Bring eggs to room temperature before mixing for better texture.
  • Start checking the cake for doneness at 40 minutes to avoid overbaking.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before adding glaze or frosting to avoid runniness.
