Ingredients

Scale

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup apple cider
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
For the Crumble Topping:
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
2–3 tablespoons apple cider

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9-inch springform pan.
Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in apple cider, sour cream, and vanilla.
In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Gently fold into wet ingredients until just combined.
Spread batter evenly into prepared pan.
For the crumble topping, mix flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir in melted butter until clumps form. Sprinkle over batter.
Bake 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool cake for 15 minutes. Whisk powdered sugar with apple cider until smooth, then drizzle over cooled cake.

Notes

For best results, use room-temperature butter, eggs, and sour cream. Avoid overmixing for a tender crumb. Let the cake cool before glazing to ensure the drizzle sets beautifully.
