INGREDIENTS
FOR THE APPLE CIDER BUTTER:
2 pounds Granny Smith apples (about 5 or 6 apples), peeled, cored, and cut into medium chunks
¾ cup light brown sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, or use 1/4 cup grapeseed or other neutral oil
½ to 1 ½ cups apple cider
FOR THE CAKE:
¾ cup melted unsalted butter or 3/4 cup olive oil, more for the pan
2 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3 large eggs
¾ cup honey
¼ cup whiskey
Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting
PREPARATION
- Prepare the apple cider butter: Combine apples, light brown sugar, and butter or oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until the mixture comes to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and cook, occasionally stirring, until mixture is reduced and appears soft and golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Let mixture cool slightly, then transfer to a large measuring cup and add enough apple cider to make 3 cups. Transfer mixture to a food processor or blender and purée until smooth. (This can be made up to 1 day ahead.)
- Prepare the cake: Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 325 degrees. Generously grease a 10-inch Bundt pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon.
- In another large bowl, whisk together eggs, prepared apple cider butter, honey, melted butter or oil and whiskey. Whisk in the dry ingredients until smooth.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until firm to the touch and a cake tester comes out clean. Cool for 30 minutes, then carefully unmold the cake and let cool completely on a wire rack. Before serving, transfer the cake to a platter and dust with confectioners’ sugar.
