3/4c softened butter
2/3c brown sugar
2/3c sugar
2 tsp vanilla
3 eggs
2 3/4c flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 Tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp ginger
1c Apple cider
2/3c Apple sauce
Powdered sugar, cream cheese and butter as needed for the glaze/frosting. (See instructions —>)
1. Cream the softened butter and sugars. Add vanilla and eggs.
2. In a separate bowl, combine apple sauce and cider. Set aside.
3. In a 3rd bowl, mix the remaining dry ingredients.
4. Combine the 3 mixes by alternating them into the butter/sugar mix in 3rds.
5. Bake at 350F according to the following. I doubled the batch, which yielded:
12 regular cupcakes (15-17 minutes)
6 large cupcakes (20-22 minutes)
1 medium bundt cake (40 minutes)
6 donuts (baked for 12 minutes)
Allow everything to cool for 5-10 minutes in the pan. Allow the bundt double that.
For the frosting, I made a cream cheese buttercream frosting for the cupcakes:
8oz softened cream cheese
1/2c softened, salted butter
3-4 c powdered sugar
1Tsp milk
For the bundt, I combined 1c powdered sugar with a little water, cinnamon, and corn syrup and drizzled the mix over a couple of times, letting the previous coat harden.
