How to Make Apple Cider Bundt Cake

This one bowl cake begins with a yellow cake mix and a package of vanilla instant pudding mix. The mix is dry when added to the cake mix and makes a very moist cake.  Add apple cider, apple sauce, eggs and vegetable oil to the dry mix and whisk together until smooth.  Adding the applesauce will make your cake super moist and delicious.  Next add ground cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamon.  Cardamon will give the flavor a robust fall taste when combined with cinnamon and nutmeg.  If you don’t have all those spices use pumpkin pie spice instead.

Grease and flour a 12″ bundt cake pan then pour batter into pan filling 3/4 full.  Place the pan on a baking sheet for stability during baking, bake at 350 for 45-50 minutes.  Remove from oven and allow to cool in pan for 5 minutes.  Invert the cake onto a cooling rack.  Let cool to touch.  Brush cake with melted butter, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture.  Or if you would like to skip the cinnamon sugar, brush with apple cider reduction. It is very good.

Note:  The cinnamon sugar mix will soak into the cake, that is why you repeat the sprinkle right before serving  If you want to bake the cake in advance, bake, and cool to room temperature, wrap in plastic wrap and foil, freeze until needed.

When you need the dessert, unthaw at room temperature, usually the day before you need it, and right before serving, add apple cider and cinnamon sugar mix.
