Method
 

Baking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a bundt pan with non-stick spray and dust with flour. Set aside.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and baking powder. Whisk to combine.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and oil. Mix on medium speed to combine.
  4. Add the eggs to the sugar mixture and mix for about two minutes.
  5. Add the applesauce and vanilla to the mixture and mix to combine.
  6. With the mixer on low speed, add 1/3 of the flour mixture, followed by half of the apple cider. Continue alternating the flour mixture and the apple cider, finishing with the flour mixture. Mix until no streaks of flour remain.
  7. Pour the batter into the bundt pan and bake for 50 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let the cake cool for an hour in the bundt pan before turning it onto a cake plate or cooling rack.
  9. Using a pastry brush, coat the cake in melted butter.
  10. Combine the sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle onto the top and sides of the cake.
