📝 Preparation Steps

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter, oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for ⏱️ 2 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla, beating until combined and scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Add the flour in three additions and the apple cider in two additions, beginning and ending with the flour and beating well between each addition (flour, cider, flour, remaining cider, remaining flour). Stir the batter a few times with a rubber spatula but don't overmix.

Generously grease a 10-cup bundt pan (I use baking spray with flour in it). Pour the batter into the pan and smooth into an even layer. Bake for ⏱️ 40-50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Place the pan on a wire rack to cool for ⏱️ 15 minutes. After ⏱️ 15 minutes, carefully invert the cake from the pan directly onto the wire rack. Place a large piece of parchment paper or foil under the rack. Proceed with the topping while the cake is still warm.

Combine sugar and cinnamon. Gently brush/dab the melted butter on the cake and immediately sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar (I work with about a third of the cake at a time). I gently tilt the rack to help sprinkle the sugar in hard to reach places. You can also gently press the cinnamon sugar into some areas. Work carefully, the warm cake is delicate. Allow to cool completely before slicing and serving.
