Ingredients

Cake

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
1 ½ tablespoon baking powder
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs *room temperature
1 cup applesauce *room temperature
1 cup apple cider *room temperature (or apple juice)
2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cinnamon Sugar

¼ cup unsalted butter melted
¼ cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a bundt pan with non-stick spray and then dust with flour. Set aside.
Add ¼ cup of granulated sugar and two teaspoons of cinnamon to a small bowl and mix to combine. Set aside until needed
Add the all-purpose flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, table salt, and baking powder to a medium bowl. Whisk to combine the dry ingredients and set aside until needed.
Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and oil to the bowl of your stand mixer (or large bowl with a hand mixer).
Mix on medium speed to combine the ingredients.
Add the eggs to the sugar mixture. Mix on medium speed for about two minutes.
Add the applesauce and vanilla to the bowl and mix to combine.
With the mixer on low speed, add ⅓ of the flour mixture. Mix just enough to combine.
Add half of the apple cider and mix just enough to combine.
*Continue alternating the flour mixture and the apple cider, finishing with the flour mixture. Mix until no streaks of flour remain. The batter will be slightly thin, not thick.
Pour the batter into the bundt pan.
Place the pan on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes.
*The cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out with a few moist crumbs on it.
Let the cake cool for an hour in the bundt pan before turning it over onto a cake plate or cooling rack.
Use a pastry brush to coat the cake with melted butter.
Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar generously onto the top and sides of the cake.
*Chef Tip: Fill your hand with the mixture and pat it on the sides of the cake.
