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, or apple juice
- 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 the oven to 350°F and grease a 10 to 12 cup Bundt pan with baking spray containing flour or butter and flour.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, apple pie spice, and salt using a whisk.
- In a different bowl, whisk together the apple cider, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla until fully combined.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. The batter will be a bit thin, so do not overmix.
- Transfer the batter evenly into the prepared Bundt pan.
- Bake for 50 to 65 minutes, checking at 50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the thickest part comes out with a few moist crumbs, but no wet batter.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a wire rack.
- While the cake is still warm, brush or drizzle the ¼ cup of apple cider evenly over the top.
- Combine the remaining sugar and apple pie spice in a small bowl. Sprinkle this mixture over the warm cake, gently pressing it into the surface for even coverage.
- Wait for the cake to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Ensure you do not overmix the batter to keep the cake fluffy.
Feel free to substitute apple cider with apple juice if necessary.
For an extra touch, serve with a glaze or whipped cream.
