For an extra touch of elegance, consider drizzling a simple glaze over the cake. Mix powdered sugar with a bit of apple cider or milk until you reach your desired consistency. Use a high-quality apple cider for the best flavor. Freshly grated apple adds a wonderful texture, but be sure to grate it finely. If you don't have apple butter, you can substitute with unsweetened applesauce, but the flavor will be slightly different.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
15 mins
In a medium saucepan, bring apple cider to a boil over high heat. Cook until reduced to about 1/2 cup (12-15 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
02
Step
5 mins
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously grease a 12-cup Bundt pan with vegetable shortening. Dust with flour, tapping out any excess. Set aside.
03
Step
2 mins
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, cloves, and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon.
04
Step
10 mins
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, brown sugar, oil, buttermilk, apple butter, vanilla, 2/3 cup of the granulated sugar, and reduced apple cider. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the grated apple, ensuring it's evenly distributed. Some lumps are okay. Pour batter into the prepared Bundt pan.
05
Step
1 hrs
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (50-55 minutes). Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely (about 1 hour).
06
Step
5 mins
In a small bowl, stir together the remaining 1/3 cup granulated sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon. Brush the melted butter evenly over the cake. Sprinkle generously with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
