This recipe was originally published in September 2020 and is being shared again because it’s an easy, delicious fall dessert that’s perfect for apple cider season.
I love fall, mostly because of the colors, flavors and aromas. I’m all over fall recipes and prefer to cook with in-season items like apples, turnips, parsnips and the like. Yet, I’m not really a pumpkin spice kinda gal. So this farm (OK, orchard) to table apple cider cake checks all the boxes. It’s like a big apple cider donut.
YES! I LOOK FORWARD TO #GROWINGYOUNGER

Easy Apple Cider Cake Recipe
Did I mention it’s easy, too? Good thing because I am not a stellar baker. I don’t own a mixer, so when I bake, I need to be able to mix the ingredients together with a whisk by hand or use an immersion blender. This cake is an ideal fall recipe.
Apple Picking Season
Since I live in New York state I enjoy going apple picking at least once a fall. Prime picking time is here is from September into early October. Then we eat apples (and I cook with them) until I run out, but thankfully all of us enjoy hand-picked apples. I also make sure to buy a pint or gallon of apple cider because my kids love it so.
Delicious Apple Cider Cake Recipe
You probably already have most of the ingredients in your pantry for this apple cake and only need two mixing bowls. The best part is that this apple cider donut cake is totally delicious. It keeps for two days, but I highly doubt it will be around that long.
