APPLE-CIDER DOUGHNUT CAKE
If you love the apple-cider doughnuts often sold at farmers' markets, you'll love this cake! Baked in a Bundt pan, it's essentially a giant cakey doughnut, made a little more wholesome with whole-wheat flour. A blend of olive oil and applesauce helps keep it moist. This classic fall dessert recipe appears in our cookbook, "A New Way to Bake" (Clarkson Potter). Martha also made this recipe on "Martha Bakes" episode 802.

Tips:
- Use a good quality cake mix. A high-quality cake mix will produce a more moist and flavorful cake. We recommend using a cake mix that is specifically designed for making bundt cakes.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use fresh apple cider. Fresh apple cider will give the cake the best flavor. If you can't find fresh apple cider, you can use bottled apple cider. Just be sure to use a brand that you like the taste of.
- Don't overcook the cake. Overcooking the cake will make it dry. Bake the cake just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Glaze the cake while it's still warm. The glaze will soak into the cake better while it's still warm.

Apple cider donut cake is a delicious and easy-to-make cake that is perfect for fall.
