Baked in a Bundt pan, this cozy apple cider doughnut cake looks like a jumbo doughnut, complete with a sparkling cinnamon sugar coating.

Ingredients

1 cuppacked brown sugar
2 teaspoonsground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoonsalt
1/4 teaspoonground nutmeg
3/4 cupsunsalted butter, melted
2large eggs, room temperature
1 cupapple cider or juice
1/4 cupchunky applesauce
1 tablespoonvanilla extract
12-2/3 cups all-purpose flour
12-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1CINNAMON SUGAR :
1 cupsugar
3 teaspoonsground cinnamon

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Generously grease and flour a 10-inch fluted tube (Bundt) pan, ensuring all the nooks and crannies are well-coated.
Combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg in a food processor. Process for 30 seconds until everything is well mixed and the sugar is finely textured. Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl. Editor’s Tip: No food processor? Place the brown sugar and spices in a large bowl and whisk vigorously to mix well, making sure to break up any clumps.
Add the melted butter, eggs, apple cider, applesauce and vanilla to the sugar mixture. Beat until the sugar mixture is smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Gradually beat the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until they're just incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan. Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean, about 45 to 50 minutes. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a wire rack.
In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon. While the cake is still warm, sprinkle the mixture over the top and sides, pressing lightly to help it stick. Let the cake cool completely before slicing and serving it.
