Ingredients

  • 225 g cake flour (approx. 2 cups minus 1 tbsp.)
  • tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • ¼ tsp. baking soda
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • ¼ tsp. nutmeg
  • 100 g granulated sugar (½ cup)
  • 100 g brown sugar (½ cup)
  • 120 mL vegetable oil (e.g., canola oil, ½ cup)
  • ½ tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 medium-sized eggs
  • 120 mL apple cider (½ cup)

Cinnamon Sugar Topping

  • 2 tbsp. unsalted butter melted
  • 3 tbsp. granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 165°C (330F) and line an 8x4" loaf pan with parchment paper.
  • Sift and mix dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg) and set aside.
  • Place granulated and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add vegetable oil and mix until well combined.
  • Add vanilla extract and eggs, one by one, and mix for 1-2 minutes after each addition.
  • Add dry ingredients, alternating with apple cider, in two additions and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Pour batter into lined loaf tin and bake in a preheated oven for 50-70 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow cake to cool in loaf tin for 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. Whilst cake is still warm, use a pastry brush to brush the top of the cake with melted butter.
  • Mix granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle over top of cake brushed with melted butter.
  • Allow cake to cool, slice, and serve.
