INGREDIENTS
-
- Yellow cake mix (I used Betty Crocker Super Moist Yellow Cake – you will use JUST the dry mix). If you want a stronger flavor, I highly recommend using Duncan Hines Spice Cake Mix.
-
- 1 cup apple cider (NOT apple juice, and PLEASE do not use apple cider vinegar)
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup apple sauce (I used cinnamon apple sauce, not chunky)
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon
- ¼ cup sugar
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
OPTIONAL APPLE CIDER GLAZE DIP
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup apple cider
SUBSTITUTIONS/ADDITIONS
Cake Mix: Any type of yellow cake mix will work for this cake. You could also use a white cake mix or a pumpkin spice cake mix. You could also use a homemade yellow or white cake if you have a recipe that you love. For a stronger Fall taste use Duncan Hines Spice Cake Mix (this was my family’s favorite version).
