Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup butter softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup sparkling apple cider

Glaze

  • 3/4 cup confectioners sugar
  • 4 tbsp sparkling apple cider

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour and 9x5 loaf pan.
  • Cream butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add dry ingredients to creamed mixture alternately with 1/2 cup cider, mixing well after each addition.
  • Pour batter into pan and bake for 55-65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. In some ovens, it may even take a little longer because the center is so thick.
  • Mix together confectioners sugar and 4 T sparkling cider to form a smooth glaze.
  • Allow cake to cool, then pour glaze on top, allowing it to run down the sides.
