  • Cheryl's Recipe Corner!
  • 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.
