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 generously grease a 10 to 12 cup Bundt pan with baking spray containing flour (or use butter and flour).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, apple pie spice, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the apple cider, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla until well combined.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly thin.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared Bundt pan.
- Bake for 50 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the thickest part comes out with a few moist crumbs and no wet batter. Start checking at 50 minutes.
- Let the cake 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 ¼ cup of apple cider evenly over it.
- In a small bowl, mix sugar and apple pie spice. While the cake is warm, sprinkle this mixture over the entire surface and gently press it in for coverage.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Ensure that the butter is melted and cooled slightly before adding to the wet ingredients to prevent cooking the eggs.
For a richer flavor, consider using fresh apple cider instead of apple juice.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
