• Glazed Apple Cider Cake

• Description

• Right now apples are being harvested across the US, and I always associate fall with apples and pumpkins.  Today I have a great recipe for a Bundt Cake that will be great for fall dinners!

• Ingredients (Cake)

• Cooking spray

• 1 (15.25 ounce) package white cake mix

• 1 cup apple cider

• 4 eggs

• 1/2 cup butter, melted

• 1 (4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix

• Ingredients (Glaze)

• 1 cup confectioners’ sugar

• 3/4 cup apple cider

• Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®) with cooking spray. Combine cake mix, 1 cup apple cider, eggs, butter, and vanilla pudding mix in a large bowl; mix until smooth. Pour batter into the tube pan. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Stir confectioners’ sugar and 3/4 cup apple cider together in a small bowl to make the glaze. Pour glaze over the cake and let soak into the cake and down the sides of the pan, about 30 minutes. Invert onto a plate and cool completely, about 30 minutes.
