Ingredients

For the apple cider donut cake:

  • 330 g (2 ¾ cup) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon allspice
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ginger
  • 85 g (6 tablespoon) unsalted butter, room temp
  • 142 g (¾ cup) dark brown sugar
  • 132 g ( cup) granulated sugar
  • 3 eggs, room temp
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 180 g ( cup + 1 tbsp) apple cider concentrate
  • 110 g (½ cup + 1 tbsp) neutral oil
  • 130 g (½ cup) unsweetened applesauce
  • 56 g (¼ cup) plain whole milk greek yogurt

For the coating:

  • 28 g (2 tablespoon) unsalted butter, melted
  • 35 g (1 ½ tablespoon) apple cider concentrate
  • 50 g (¼ cup) granulated sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

For the cake:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
  • Grease a 10 cup bundt pan by brushing 1 tablespoon of softened butter all over with a pastry brush, then coat with granulated sugar. 
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, all spice, nutmeg, and ginger. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar for 2-3 minutes. 
  • Add in eggs and vanilla, and mix on high speed until very well combined.
  • Scrape down the bowl, then alternate adding the dry and wet ingredients (apple cider concentrate, oil, applesauce, and yogurt) until everything is fully combined.
  • Pour batter into prepared bundt pan and bake for about 35-42 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Allow cake to cool for no more than 10 minutes in the pan, then immediately use a knife to gently loosen the sides and turn out onto a cooling rack. 

For the coating:

  • In a small bowl melt the butter, then stir in the apple cider concentrate. 
  • In a separate bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. 
  • While the cake is still warm brush all of the butter, cider mixture all over the cake. Trust me, you want to use ALL of it! 
  • Immediately sprinkle the cinnamon sugar all over the cake. 
  • Serve the cake warm with a hot cup of apple cider or coffee!

Notes

  • Liberally grease the fluted pan. To prevent the cake from sticking to the pan, liberally grease it with softened butter, then coat with a small amount of granulated sugar.
  • Turn the cake out after 10 minutes. Do not let the cake cool in the pan longer than 10 minutes, or it may stick to the pan!
  • Make the cake ahead of time. This cake stays moist for several days, so if you're making it for a gathering, you can bake it the day before serving.
