Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 tsp Cinnamon ground
- 1/4 tsp Nutmeg freshly grated, ground, if possible
- 1/4 tsp Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 7 tbsp Butter melted, unsalted
- 1 cup Sugar granulated
- 1 tbsp Yogurt or sour cream
- 3 Large Eggs
- 1 tbsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/3 cup Apple Cider
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.
