Your favorite apple cider donut, reinvented into a moist spiced cake, coated in sweet cinnamon and sugar!
Last weekend, the family and I went to our local orchard for our annual apple picking day.
Now, if I was being 100% honest, I would tell you that the main reason why we go apple picking is for the apple cider donuts. Don’t get me wrong, we pick a bunch of apples but we are really going for the donuts.
And the apple cider. Our local orchard has some of the best apple cider around. And, yes, when we run out, I will drive the 30 minutes to their little store to get us some more.
But I digress.
I have tried to recreate the apple cider donuts at home with some luck. They were ok. Just not the same as when they are warm and fresh at the stand. But then I saw this recipe for Apple Cider Donut Cake floating around and I knew I had to at least give it a try.
This recipe calls for oat flour which I had a hard time finding at my grocery store. If you run into that problem, there’s a really easy solution. Grab some rolled oats, throw them in your food processor, and grind those oats up until you have a nice powdery, flour.
If you are ready to make this Apple Cider Donut Cake for yourself, here is what else you will need:
