Servings: 8 pieces
- 1 box yellow cake mix I used Betty Crocker
- 3/4 cup apple cider
- 1/2 cup sweetened applesauce
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Cinnamon and Sugar Topping:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer on low to combine cake mix, apple cider, apple sauce, eggs, and melted butter.
Add brown sugar and vanilla and mix well.
Grease and flour a 10 or 12 cup bundt pan well and pour batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean (mine was done at 45 minutes).
Remove from the oven and let cool on a cooling rack for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, turn the bundt pan over onto a cooling rack or parchment paper.
Mix together cinnamon and sugar for the topping.
Brush butter over cake and sprinkle cinnamon and sugar topping on top and sides of cake.
This recipe works with a 10 cup or 12 cups bundt pan.
I had to use my hands to get the cinnamon and sugar mixture to stick to the sides of the cake.
