Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups apple cider (reduced to 3/4 cup)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10- to 12-cup bundt pan with butter and flour or baking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
- In a large bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Reduce the apple cider by simmering it in a small saucepan until it measures 3/4 cup. Let cool slightly.
- Alternate adding the dry ingredients, reduced cider, and sour cream into the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
- Pour batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Whisk powdered sugar with a few tablespoons of apple cider to make a pourable glaze. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
Notes
- Make sure the apple cider is fully reduced to concentrate flavor.
- Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing.
- Let the cake cool completely before glazing.
- To freeze, wrap slices tightly and thaw before serving.
