This cake is ideal for baking on the weekend and then eating a slice every evening (or morning) throughout the week. The recipe is flexible—you can replace up to ½ cup (63 grams) all-purpose flour with whole wheat, use 2 Tbsp. flour instead of cornstarch, swap buttermilk for the sour cream, or use any neutral oil in place of the butter. Oh, and thanks to the reduced cider that’s incorporated into the batter and soaked into the warm cake, it actually tastes just like a farmstand cider doughnut.
Apple-picking season really means apple cider doughnuts, the fragrant treat that apple farms smartly sell as post-picking snacks. Usually made from boiled-down apple cider, these crunchy, craggly cake doughnuts are irresistible — especially when they’re still warm from the fryer.
Take all your favorite flavors of an apple cider donut and make them into an easy bundt cake. This apple cider bundt cake is tender, moist, spiced to perfection and coated in a buttery, cinnamon sugar for the ultimate Fall treat.

1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons cinnamon
¼ cup sugar

Directions for Cake
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the dry cake mix, apple cider, apple sauce, water, and eggs.
Add in cinnamon (1/4 tsp), brown sugar, and vanilla to the cake mix batter.
Pour the mixture into a well-greased AND floured bundt pan.
Place bundt pan on center rack and bake for 45 minutes. Test with a toothpick by sticking into the middle of the cake, if it comes out clean it is ready. Remove from heat and allow to cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes.
Directions for Glaze Topping
While the cake is cooking, prepare the apple cider glaze by adding powdered sugar and the 1/4 cup apple cider to a small bowl and whisking them together until you reach your desired consistency.
In a separate bowl, mix together the cinnamon and sugar.
Once the cake has cooled, brush the entire surface of the cake with melted butter. Rub the cinnamon sugar mixture until the whole cake is evenly coated.
Serve the cake with the apple cider glaze dipping sauce and enjoy!
