Apple Cider Doughnut Cake Recipe

I’m getting ready to make my annual Apple Cider Doughnut Bundt Cake and I have to share it for those that may have missed it last year. It’s fall and that means apple cider time. I found the perfect tasting cider this year, I haven’t had some this delicious in quite a few years.

    • I haven’t had a good cider for probably 3-4 years. It has all tasted like apple juice. This year was an amazing jug of cider which, of course, made for a much better cake. Thank you Bernadette and enjoy the weekend.

  1. Very fitting for the season and it looks very moist Diane. I have noticed Meijer carries a cherry Honeycrisp apple cider. It is canned, maybe a six-pack? It is not in a regular plastic-type jug. I keep thinking I’ll buy it but haven’t yet. Have you tried it?

    • I have never heard of canned cider before so I just looked it up. You devil Linda, it is all age restricted so it is spiked. 🤣 The half gallon I had Terry get at Meijer’s was Blakes and it was the best I have had in years

      • Oh – I never looked at it closely but it was not with the alcohol/beer, but with the cider and caramel apples, so I assumed. Guess I assumed wrong. 🙂 We have a Blakes Cider Mill here in Michigan – that’s Michigan cider then or you have a Blakes too? Blakes Cider Mill usually opens Labor Day weekend for cider and hot donuts. Years ago we went to a produce market that had limited quantities of Honeycrisp apple cider in the Fall, maybe a quart, or maybe even a pint. It was very light-colored cider, but tasty.

      • I think canned cider would be so much better for me. It takes me a while to drink a half gallon. A gallon usually goes bad on me because there is so much. With the cans I could have it for a longer time. We don’t have a Blakes Cider Mill here, wish we did! It was the best cider I have ever had.

      • Yes, same for me – it gets murky in the bottom with sediment if you keep it too long. I didn’t realize they sent the cider out of state. Hmm.

      • I just finished last weeks half gallon and put another one on the list for tomorrow. I never buy more than half a gallon a year but my gosh it was so delicious!

      • I’m guessing it’s a limited supply so I say “go for it!” When I was at the ad agency back in 1978-79, one of the art directors lived near the Franklin Cider Mill, the other popular local cider mill. In the Fall, once a week he would go to the cider mill and bring in half-gallons of cider and fresh donuts for our whole Creative Department (about 40 of us). The donuts were so fresh, there was grease on the brown paper bags. Wonderful stuff!

      • Me too, we had the best cider mill about 10 miles down our road and then it suddenly closed permanently. I was so happy to find the one from Michigan at Meijer’s.

      • Hopefully they have it around for a while longer. I wish they would have the Honeycrisp apple cider. If they ever have some at your store or a produce market, you have to try it – it is delicious!

  2. I love your Bundt cake mould! And the cake looks delicious. Apple cider is one of the nice things about these cooler autumn days!

  3. I remember this recipe from earlier on your blog Diane. I’m going to save it now – it looks really nice and easy to make (I’ll even try to master the bundt pan).
    And how about using a light cider with 3% alcohol … I wonder if that will work – then I can use half for the cake and drink the other half 😂.
