Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups (500 g) all-purpose flour
- 3 cups (600 g) granulated sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 4 teaspoons apple pie spice
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 ½ cups apple cider
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- ¼ cup (½ stick / 57 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- ¼ cup apple cider
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons apple pie spice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 10 to 12 cup Bundt pan with baking spray or a mix of butter and flour.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, apple pie spice, and kosher salt.
- In another bowl, combine the apple cider, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract, whisking until well mixed.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently just until combined; do not overmix.
- Carefully pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, smoothing the top if needed.
- Bake for 50 to 65 minutes, checking with a toothpick starting at 50 minutes; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes, then invert it onto a wire rack.
- While the cake is warm, brush or drizzle ¼ cup of apple cider over it.
- In a small bowl, combine the remaining sugar and apple pie spice. Sprinkle this mixture over the warm cake and press gently to adhere until well coated.
- Let the cake cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Ensure the eggs are at room temperature for better mixing.
Variation: Substitute apple juice if apple cider is unavailable.
For an extra treat, add walnuts or pecans to the batter for added crunch.
