Glazed Apple Cider Doughnut Cake – Moist, Spiced & Irresistible

Crisp Autumn Apple Cider Doughnut Cake
Ingredients
Method
- In a medium saucepan, combine fresh apple cider with cinnamon and mixed spices. Simmer gently over low heat until reduced by about half. This concentrated reduction will infuse the cake with intense apple flavor.
- Whisk together your dry ingredients in a bowl and, in another bowl, blend the vegan dairy substitute, egg replacer, sweetener, and the spiced apple cider reduction. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until just combined, preserving a light texture.
- Pour the batter into a prepared 9x13-inch pan. Bake in a preheated oven until the cake is set but still moist, about 35 minutes. Allow to cool before glazing.
- Whisk together your glaze ingredients, then drizzle liberally over the cooled cake. The glaze seals in the aromatic apple cider flavor and gives the cake its signature doughnut feel.
Crisp Autumn Apple Cider Doughnut Cake
Let’s be honest: sometimes the name “apple cider cake” doesn’t do justice to the robust flavor we all crave during the cooling fall months. Today, we’re launching a recipe that reimagines that classic dish – think of it as a warm, spiced doughnut cake brimming with the essence of fresh apple cider.
Here’s our little secret. Instead of simply mixing apple cider into your batter, we reduce it on the stove with a generous dash of cinnamon and mixed spices. This slow, gentle simmer deepens the apple flavor, creating a concentrated base that truly sings. The result? A cake that tastes unmistakably like an autumn apple picking adventure, with every bite evoking memories of crisp, cool days.
This reinvented recipe is not only full of flavor—it’s also completely vegan, meaning no eggs or dairy. A perfect twist when you’re looking for something inclusive and innovative. The vibrant spices are introduced directly into the cider, turning your kitchen into a cozy, aromatic haven as it gently reduces into a simmering, spice-infused nectar. Trust us, the fragrance alone is enough to make you drop everything and start baking!
In our version, the cake batter is prepared by carefully folding in the apple cider reduction with your usual mix of flour, baking powder, sweetener, and vegan substitutes. The modified technique of reducing and pre-infusing the cider makes for a more dynamic flavor profile than conventional methods. And don’t even think about skipping the glaze – trust us, when that shiny, apple-infused glaze drizzles over the cake, it ties everything together in a sweet, aromatic bow.
Special Tip: While reducing the cider, keep your heat low and steady. This gentle simmer avoids burning and ensures the spices merge perfectly with the apple’s natural tang. Patience here really pays off!
[This recipe has quickly become a fall favorite in our kitchen, celebrated for its moist texture and unforgettable apple flavor.]
