Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 ½ cups (186g) all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
⅛ teaspoon cloves
7 tablespoons (99g) unsalted butter (melted)
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
1 tablespoon (15g) sour cream ((or plain Greek yogurt))
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla
½ cup (118ml) apple cider
2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar
⅓ cup (79ml) apple cider
2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line the bottom of a 9x5" loaf pan with parchment paper, then spray it with nonstick cooking spray (the kind with flour) or grease and flour it.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, salt , cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • Stir melted butter, sugar, and sour cream or Greek yogurt in a large bowl. Stir in eggs, one at a time, then stir in vanilla. Add apple cider and dry ingredients and stir just until moistened. Pour into prepared pan.
  • Bake for 34-40 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. (Mine took 39 minutes.)
  • While the cake is baking, make the glaze. Heat the sugar and apple cider in a small saucepan over medium heat until it boils. Boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat.
  • Stir together topping ingredients, sugar and cinnamon, in a small bowl.
  • Cool pound cake for 15 minutes in the pan. Use a knife to loosen around the edges, then carefully remove the cake and place it on a cooling rack set over a cookie sheet. Use a pastry brush to brush the apple cider glaze over the top of the cake. Immediately sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture. Let cool before eating.
  • Store loosely covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month. I like to slice and freeze the slices in sandwich bags.

Yield 8 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

9 Tbsp. unsalted butter, divided, plus more for pan
1½ cups apple cider
½ cup sour cream
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1¼ cups plus 2 Tbsp. (172 g) all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp. (15 g) cornstarch
1¼ tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt, plus more
1 tsp. ground cinnamon, divided
½ tsp. freshly grated nutmeg, divided
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup (200 g) sugar, divided

Steps:

  • Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 325°F. Lightly butter an 8½x4½" or 9x5" loaf pan. Line with parchment paper, leaving overhang on both long sides. Bring cider to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until cider is reduced to ¾ cup, 8-10 minutes. Pour ¼ cup reduced cider into a small measuring glass or bowl and set aside. Transfer remaining reduced cider to a small bowl and let cool 5 minutes. Stir in sour cream and vanilla and set aside.
  • Melt 8 Tbsp. butter in same saucepan (no need to clean) over low heat. Let cool slightly. Whisk flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt, ½ tsp. cinnamon, and ¼ tsp. nutmeg in a medium bowl to combine. Vigorously whisk eggs and ¾ cup (150 g) sugar in a large bowl until pale, voluminous, and frothy, about 2 minutes. Whisking constantly, gradually add melted butter in a steady stream; continue to whisk until fully combined and emulsified (no spots of fat should remain). Reserve saucepan. Whisk dry ingredients into egg mixture in 3 additions, alternating with reserved sour cream mixture in 2 additions; whisk just until no lumps remain. Batter will be thin. Scrape into pan and set on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake cake, rotating halfway through, until deep golden brown and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 60-80 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack and poke top of cake all over with a toothpick. Spoon 3 Tbsp. reserved reduced cider over; let cool 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix a big pinch of salt, remaining ¼ cup (50 g) sugar, ½ tsp. cinnamon, and ¼ tsp. nutmeg in a small bowl. Melt remaining 1 Tbsp. butter in reserved saucepan and mix into remaining 1 Tbsp. reduced cider.
  • Using parchment paper, lift cake onto rack and set rack inside rimmed baking sheet. Peel away parchment from sides. Brush warm butter mixture over top and sides of cake. Sprinkle generously with sugar mixture to coat every surface (use parchment to help rotate cake and collect any excess sugar). Remove parchment and let cool completely before slicing.
  • Do Ahead: Cake can be made 4 days ahead. Store tightly wrapped at room temperature.
