This Apple Cider Donut Cake has everything you love about the classic fall treat in the form of a cinnamon sugar coated cake!
Although the yellow cake mix is the first ingredient in this recipe, let’s be honest: the apple cider is the star of the show here.

Place the pan in the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Brush the cake with melted butter, then whisk together the cinnamon and sugar in a medium bowl and sprinkle the mixture over the top of the cake.

Comparing apple cider to apple juice is like, well, comparing apples to oranges!
It’s absolutely irresistible, I definitely recommend keeping it simple with that cinnamon sugar mixture on top!
