    Spiced Apple Cider Loaf Cake

    If I could, I would declare this Spiced Apple Cider Loaf Cake THE loaf cake of fall. With reduced apple cider (aka ultra flavorful), plenty of cinnamon and nutmeg, a tender, moist cake - it's just so delicious. You're going to fall (haha) in love with this one, promise.

    Spiced Apple Cider Loaf Cake

    Ingredients for this Spiced Apple Cider Loaf Cake

    • Apple cider
    • Cinnamon
    • Nutmeg
    • All purpose flour
    • Baking powder
    • Granulated sugar
    • Light brown sugar
    • Eggs
    • Canola oil
    • Vanilla extract

    IS REDUCING THE APPLE CIDER NECESSARY?

    Short answer: yes! Reducing the apple cider condenses the flavor and produces a stronger cider flavor. Without doing this, you likely won't taste any cider in your loaf. It's painless and worth it step!

    KITCHEN EQUIPMENT YOU'LL NEED

    • Sauce pan
    • Loaf pan
    • Parchment paper
    • Measuring cups
    • 2x medium bowls
    • Spoon or spatula

    HOW TO MAKE THIS LOAF CAKE

    Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350℉. Reduce the apple cider by half. Do so by bringing it to a boil on high heat and then reducing to a simmer on medium-low heat for about 8-10 minutes.

    Step 2: Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl - flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt. Mix to combine.

    Step 3: Combine all wet ingredients into a separate bowl - apple cider, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, canola oil, and vanilla. Whisk to combine.

    Step 4: Pour the dry ingredients into the wet and mix together until just combined. Pour into a greased + lined loaf pan, and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon granulated sugar and ½ teaspoon cinnamon. Bake for 45-55 minutes, until a tester comes out with little to no crumbs. Allow to cool slightly before removing from the pan.

      Another amazing loaf ! This was SO good and made my kitchen smell amazing. The spices were perfect and my family gobbled it up in one sitting. We had to brew a pot of coffee for the perfect cozy pairing. Will definitely make again!

      I want to make this but my grocery store only has apple juice! Can I substitute or is apple cider a must?

        Hi Sarah! Thanks for asking - I wouldn't necessarily recommend it, however if you really can't get your hands on apple cider I'd say it's worth a try! Just make sure it's unsweetened apple juice and perhaps pull the sugar back a smidge (not too much though because it'll throw off the texture of the cake). Let me know how it goes if you try it!
