Apple Cider Donut Cake 🍎
In honor of , I’m resharing the perfect cake for an autumn brunch or Thanksgiving dessert. It’s so easy and so delicious! 🍏

Recipe…
Butter Pecan cake mix (could also use spice or yellow cake mix)
3/4 cup apple cider
1/2 cup applesauce (I used cinnamon)
3 large eggs
1 Tblsp brown sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp vanilla

Grease a flour fluted cake pan. Preheat oven to 350. Combine all ingredients and mix just until moistened. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 38-43 minutes or just until set (don’t over bake!)
Cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto wire rack to continue to cool. Brush with 1/4 cup melted butter and sprinkle on a mixture of 2 tablespoons cinnamon plus a half a cup sugar. This works best if the cake is cooled, otherwise the cinnamon and sugar just dissolve into the cake.
