Instructions
 

Prepare the Oven and Pan

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (170°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan, or line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.

Combine Dry Ingredients

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

Combine Wet Ingredients

  • In a large bowl, cream together the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined. Beat in the yogurt (or sour cream), then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Stir in the apple cider.

Bake the Cake

  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

Prepare the Topping

  • While the cake is baking, prepare the cinnamon sugar topping by combining the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.

Cool and Decorate

  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before carefully inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, sprinkle generously with the cinnamon sugar topping.

Store and Serve

  • Store the cooled pound cake loosely covered at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze individual slices for up to 1 month.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Best Apple Cider Pound Cake

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Freshly grated nutmeg and high-quality vanilla extract will elevate the flavor profile significantly.
  • Don't Overmix: Overmixing the batter can lead to a tough cake. Mix only until the ingredients are just combined.
  • Check for Doneness: Use a wooden skewer or toothpick to check for doneness. If it comes out with moist crumbs, bake for a few more minutes.
  • Cool Completely: Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting or serving to prevent the topping from melting or the cake from crumbling.
