Ingredients
2 cups fresh apple cider (reduced to 1/2 cup)
3 cups all-purpose flour
1.5 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
3 large eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1.5 cups powdered sugar (for glaze)
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup (for glaze)
1–2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
Instructions
Step 1: Simmer 2 cups of apple cider in a saucepan over medium-high heat until it reduces to 1/2 cup; allow to cool completely.
Step 2: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 10-cup Bundt pan thoroughly with flour-based baking spray.
Step 3: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Step 4: Cream the butter and sugars in a large bowl until light and fluffy, then beat in the eggs one by one.
Step 5: Mix in the sour cream, vanilla, and the cooled apple cider reduction until smooth.
Step 6: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, then pour into the Bundt pan.
Step 7: Bake for 50-60 minutes until a tester comes out clean; cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning out.
Step 8: Whisk the powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk together to create a glaze, then drizzle over the warm cake.
Notes
Ensure the cider reduction is completely cool before adding it to the batter to prevent the eggs from curdling.
