Ingredients
For the Cake
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1 cup apple cider
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 3 large eggs
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Cinnamon-Sugar Topping
- 3 tbsp melted butter
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a Bundt pan or 9×13-inch baking pan well.
- Make the batter:
In a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, apple cider, applesauce, eggs, cinnamon, brown sugar, and vanilla. Beat for about 2 minutes, until smooth.
- Bake:
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool:
Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10–15 minutes, then carefully remove it and place it on a wire rack.
- Add the topping:
Brush the warm cake with melted butter. Mix the sugar and cinnamon together, then generously sprinkle it over the cake.
- Serve:
Let it cool slightly, slice, and enjoy warm or at room temperature. 🍎🍩
