Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • For the Topping:
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-cup bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and eggs until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider and sour cream.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients alternately with the apple cider mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. While the cake is cooling, prepare the topping. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon.
  10. Once the cake is completely cool, brush the topping generously over the entire cake.

Notes

  • Ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for the best cake texture.
  • Don’t overmix the batter; this can lead to a tough cake.
  • Adjust the amount of topping to your preference.
