Apple Cider Cake with Apple Cider Frosting
Ingredients
Apple Cider Syrup
- 4 cups apple cider
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 stick cinnamon broken in half
Apple Cider Cake
- 1 box spice cake mix
- 1 stick butter melted
- 1 cup apple cider
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 4 eggs
Apple Cider Frosting
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 stick butter softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2-3/4 cup apple cider syrup
Instructions
Apple Cider Syrup
- Place all ingredients in a small pot and heat to boiling over medium heat. Continue boiling until the cider is reduced to about 3/4 cup. It will still look super-liquidy. That's ok, it's because it's still warm. Let cool completely, and it will be a beautiful syrup.
Apple Cider Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°
- Grease (and flour, if you are so inclined) a bundt cake pan or a tube pan.
- Mix together all ingredients until everything is incorporated and smooth. Pour into bundt pan.
- Bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until cake springs back when lightly touched.
- Cool at least 10 minutes on a rack, then remove from cake pan.
Apple Cider Frosting
- With a mixer, cream together butter and cream cheese.
- Add powdered sugar and mix until incorporated.
- While continuing to mix, slowly add apple cider syrup until the frosting is pourable. This could take anywhere from 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup.
- Pour frosting on top of cooled cake.
- Enjoy
