Last weekend, the family and I went to our local orchard for our annual apple picking day. Now, if I was being 100% honest, I would tell you that the main reason why we go apple picking is for the apple cider donuts. Don’t get me wrong, we pick a bunch of apples but we are really going for the donuts
This recipe calls for oat flour which I had a hard time finding at my grocery store. If you run into that problem, there’s a really easy solution. Grab some rolled oats, throw them in your food processor, and grind those oats up until you have a nice powdery, flour.
Apple Cider Donut Cake
Ingredients
dry ingredients
2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups oat flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
wet ingredients
1 cup apple cider
3/4 cup applesauce
3/4 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs room temperature
2 tsp vanilla extract
topping
2 Tbsp unsalted butter melted
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
Set oven to 350F and grease your bundt pan.
Whisk the dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl.
Whisk the wet ingredients together in a another bowl.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry and whisk until just combined. Be careful not to over mix.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out without wet batter clinging to it. Set the pan on a cooling rack for 15 minutes.
Stir the sugar and cinnamon together for the topping.
Invert the cake onto a plate. Brush with the melted butter, and sprinkle generously all over with the sugar.
