Ingredients: For the cake: 1 cup unsalted butter, softened 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar 5 large eggs, room temperature 3 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 1 cup apple cider, room temperature 1 teaspoon vanilla extract For the glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar 2–3 tablespoons apple cider 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon Directions: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt or tube pan. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the apple cider, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Stir in the vanilla extract. Do not overmix. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake for 75–85 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, apple cider, and cinnamon until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake and let it set before serving. Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cooking Time: 80 minutes | Total Time: 1 hour 40 minutes Kcal: 420 kcal | Servings: 12 slices.
