Step-by-Step Instructions for Apple Cider Pound Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare the loaf pan with parchment paper and nonstick spray.
- Cream the softened butter and sugar in a stand mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until smooth, about 2 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with apple cider, mix until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top, and drop the pan on the counter to release air bubbles.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes until golden brown and a knife comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the glaze by mixing sifted powdered sugar with apple cider until smooth.
- Once cooled, drizzle the glaze over the cake and let it set before slicing.

Notes
Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing to avoid melt-off. Adjust the glaze thickness by adding more apple cider as needed.
