MG apple cider sugared donut cake
This is just one of those gently spiced apple cakes that slices off in big hunks which is a good thing because it’s the type of cake everyone digs into for seconds. Best made a day (or at least hours) ahead. It sets up better and the flavors mature. It’s the fine-grained moist crumb with the sugary-donut coating that really makes it rock! Btw you have a choice here to glaze the cake or brush it with melted butter after baking and then dust on the Cinnamon Donut Sugar. I’ve even served it with caramel sauce! But the crunch of the coarse sugar and spice is just about this cake's main selling point.
