  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Description

One 10-cup Bundt cake with apple-cider reduction and a cinnamon-sugar finish.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups Unfiltered nonalcoholic apple cider
  • 3/4 cup Unsalted butter, softened, for batter
  • 3/4 cup Granulated sugar, for batter
  • 1/2 cup Light brown sugar, packed
  • 3 eggs Large eggs
  • 1/2 cup Plain full-fat yogurt
  • 2 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons Baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon, for batter
  • 1/2 teaspoon Fine salt
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted, for finish
  • 1/4 cup Granulated sugar, for finish
  • 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon, for finish

Instructions

  1. Simmer 2 cups unfiltered nonalcoholic apple cider in a small saucepan until it measures 3/4 cup, approximately 20 minutes. Pour into a heatproof measure and cool. Heat oven to 350°F; grease and flour every ridge of a 10-cup Bundt pan.
  2. Beat 3/4 cup softened butter with 3/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup packed brown sugar until lighter. Beat in three eggs one at a time, then 1/2 cup plain yogurt. Whisk 2 1/2 cups flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon and 1/2 tsp salt separately.
  3. Add the dry mixture to the butter base in two additions, alternating with the cooled 3/4 cup reduced cider. Mix only until combined. Spread evenly in the prepared pan and bake approximately 50–60 minutes until a skewer into the cake crumb comes out without wet batter.
  4. Cool in pan about 15 minutes; invert onto a rack and cool further until warm rather than hot. Brush with 2 tbsp melted butter and distribute a mixture of 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon over the outside. Cut twelve slices only after the coating settles. Document pan release and actual baked time.
