Instructions
- Prepare and preheat: Spray a bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray and dust with flour. Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Mix dry ingredients: Using a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk together 3 cups flour, 1 Tablespoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons baking powder and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add 1 1/2 cups sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1 cup oil. Mix with a hand mixer until well combined. Add 3 eggs and continue to mix for 2 more minutes. Add 1 cup applesauce and 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla and mix until well combined.
- Alternate dry ingredients and cider into batter: Add 1/3 of the dry ingredients and mix on low speed. Add half the apple cider and continue mixing. Alternate the dry ingredients and cider until the flour is incorporated in the batter.
- Bake: Add the batter to the prepared bundt pan and bake for 50 minutes. The cake will be done when a toothpick is inserted and comes out clean.
- Cool: Cool cake for 1 hour in the bundt pan. Then, invert cake onto a cooling rack or cake plate.
- Coat topping on cake: Brush the melted 3 Tablespoons of butter onto the cake with a pastry brush. In a small bowl, mix together the 3 Tablespoons sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon. Sprinkle the cinnamon/sugar mixture onto the top and sides of cake. Use your hands, if necessary.
Notes
Glaze: If you wanted to top this with a glaze you can, but it is plenty sweet. Simply whisk together a cup of powdered sugar with 2-3 Tablespoons apple cider.
Storage: Store in a covered container up to 3 days, or wrap individual slices in plastic wrap and freeze up to 3 months.
