APPLE CIDER DOUGHNUT CAKE



Apple Cider Doughnut Cake image

Warm spices with a true apple flavor. This cake is so moist and luscious. The shredded apple adds a little bit of texture, and isn't too piece-y or crunchy. The reduced apple cider packs a concentrated apple flavor, and the apple butter adds warm, apple-y sweetness. The butter and cinnamon-sugar finish really gives this that "cider doughnut" feel.

Provided by Marianne Williams

Categories     Apple Bundt Cake

Time 2h50m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 ½ cups apple cider
1 tablespoon vegetable shortening, or as needed
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
3 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
3 large eggs
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 cup canola oil
½ cup whole buttermilk
¼ cup apple butter
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup white sugar, divided
1 medium Honeycrisp apple, peeled and grated
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Pour apple cider into a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook, without stirring, until reduced to about 1/2 cup, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • While cider reduces, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously rub shortening all over the inside of a 12-cup Bundt pan. Sprinkle some flour all over inside of pan over shortening and tap around to completely cover in flour. Tap out excess flour and set pan aside.
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, cloves, and 2 teaspoons of the cinnamon in a medium bowl.
  • Whisk together eggs, brown sugar, oil, buttermilk, apple butter, vanilla, 2/3 cup of the granulated sugar, and reduced apple cider in a large bowl. Add half of flour mixture to egg mixture and stir to combine. Add remaining half of flour mixture and grated apple and stir until just incorporated, but some lumps still remain, and making sure apples are evenly incorporated (you may need to use a fork to separate apple pieces). Pour into the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean, 50 to 55 minutes. Cool cake in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Remove cake from pan to a wire rack to cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • Stir together remaining 1/3 cup granulated sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon in a small bowl. Brush melted butter evenly over outside and center ring of cake. Sprinkle top and sides of cake with cinnamon-sugar. Serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork tenderloin: Look for a tenderloin that is firm to the touch and has no signs of bruising or discoloration.
  • Sear the pork tenderloin before braising: Searing the pork tenderloin helps to develop a rich, flavorful crust and lock in the juices.
  • Use a flavorful braising liquid: The braising liquid is what gives the pork tenderloin its flavor, so be sure to use a liquid that you enjoy the taste of. Some good options include apple cider, chicken broth, or a combination of both.
  • Cook the pork tenderloin until it is tender: The pork tenderloin is done cooking when it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. You can check the temperature using a meat thermometer.
  • Let the pork tenderloin rest before slicing: Letting the pork tenderloin rest for a few minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Apple butter and pork tenderloin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork tenderloin is braised in a flavorful apple butter sauce, which gives it a sweet and tangy flavor. The dish is served over mashed potatoes or rice, and it can be garnished with fresh parsley or chives.
