Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup reduced apple cider (from 2 cups regular cider)
  • ½ cup full-fat sour cream
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (for coating)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease and flour a 10-to-12 cup bundt pan.
  2. Pour 2 cups of apple cider into a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer until reduced to ½ cup. Let cool completely.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  4. In a large bowl, beat softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract.
  6. Add half of the dry ingredients, followed by half of the reduced cider and sour cream. Repeat with remaining dry ingredients and liquids. Mix just until combined.
  7. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth top. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack. While warm, brush with melted butter (optional) and roll or sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature ingredients to ensure proper emulsification. If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil for the last 15 minutes. Do not refrigerate as it dries out the cake; store at room temperature for up to 3 days.
