As much as I like fancy desserts, sometimes I'm just not feeling like spending hours in the kitchen. That's when a semi-homemade recipe comes to the rescue.
I had purchased a bottle of Pumpkin Spiced Apple Cider at Thanksgiving. But for whatever reason, we never got around to drinking it. That's when I went in search of a recipe. Holy cow.... there were plenty to choose from. But I settled on one from Eat At Home Cooks.
■1 box white cake mix
■1 4-serving box instant vanilla pudding mix
■4 eggs
■1 stick butter (1/2 cup), melted
■1 cup apple cider
For the glaze:
■3/4 cup apple cider
■1 cup powdered sugar
In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine all the ingredients for the cake. Blend until thoroughly mixed. Pour the batter into a well greased bundt pan. Bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven. Stir together the apple cider and powdered sugar. Pour over the cake while it is hot and still in the pan. Allow the sweet cider to run down the edges of the pan and over the cake. Let it sit for about 30 minutes. Turn out onto a plate and cool completely.

The flavor of this cake sounds amazing. What a neat way to use apple cider and your resulting cake looks very moist and has a great crumb. I just put up my "Sweets for a Saturday" linky and I do hope you'll come by and link up one of your delicious sweet treats.
Ooh, this recipe looks yummy and easy. Probably one even I can make! LOL.

this looks like something I'd want as a part of every meal!
This looks so good. I love those flavors in a bundt cake.
This cake was really moist and delicious. I also cooked down some of the cider to make a syrup. It was outstanding drizzled over the cke.
that looks awesome~!
I bet there are no calories in this one. :)

I feel like spice cake is all the rage right now and I can see why. Your variation looks so good!
I like your variation on my cake recipe. I've never heard of pumpkin spiced apple cider but it sounds terrific!
Yum! This looks so moist and delicious- easy too! I'll have to find some of that pumpkin spiced cider. :)
Oh how I love these pumpkin desserts and with the apple cider, it's a match made in heaven! Yum! I want a piece, NOW!
Confession: Sometimes semi-homemade recipes are the best when you just don't feel like making the effort.
This looks sooo moist and delicious!
This looks so moist and tasty!
I'm a big fan of the cake mix/pudding mix thing. That looks fantastic with pumpkin spiced cider. What a great idea. Thanks for passing it along....now where do I get that cider??? :)
A nice, easy recipe to mix together. Wonderful flavors.
