Description
A cozy, spiced sheet cake that tastes like fall in every bite, staying moist from apple cider and butter with warm spices.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups apple cider
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar

- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

- Cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each, then stir in the vanilla.

- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the apple cider, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
