How to Make Apple Cider Cake
Making an apple cider cake is an enjoyable and simple process that will fill your kitchen with the delightful aroma of fall spices. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a cake pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This step is crucial to achieving a moist, tender cake. Next, add the eggs and vanilla extract, beating until smooth.
Now, alternate adding the dry ingredients and wet ingredients (apple cider and milk) to the butter mixture, stirring gently after each addition. This process ensures that all the ingredients are evenly incorporated and that your cake batter is smooth.
Once the batter is ready, pour it into the prepared cake pan and bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool for about 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors set.
This apple cider cake is perfect for fall gatherings, family dinners, or simply enjoying a cozy afternoon. For an extra touch, dust it with powdered sugar or drizzle it with caramel sauce for added sweetness.
