Ingredients

Scale
  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¾ tsp ground ginger
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • ½ cup applesauce or apple butter
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp melted butter (for topping)
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar (for topping)
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10-cup Bundt pan thoroughly.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, combine the apple cider and applesauce or apple butter. Set aside.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  6. Add the dry ingredients in three parts, alternating with the cider mixture in two parts, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.
  7. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool the cake in the pan for 15 minutes, then carefully invert onto a wire rack.
  10. While the cake is still warm, brush the surface with melted butter and sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar mixture. Press gently to coat all surfaces.
  11. Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For a deeper apple flavor, use apple butter instead of applesauce.
  • Make sure to coat the cake with cinnamon sugar while it’s still warm for best adhesion.
  • Serve with hot apple cider or coffee for a perfect fall treat.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
