  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 4 cups fresh apple cider
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 0.25 teaspoon allspice
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 0.5 cup neutral-flavored oil
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for glazing)

Instructions

  1. Reduce the apple cider: Simmer the apple cider on low heat in a pan until it reduces from 4 cups down to about 1 cup. This intensifies the apple flavor. Once reduced, remove from heat and let it cool completely.
  2. Prepare the cake pan: Grease a 9-inch cake pan thoroughly with butter or oil to ensure the cake doesn't stick during cooking.
  3. Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, kosher salt, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, allspice, and ground ginger until evenly combined.
  4. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate large bowl, beat the neutral-flavored oil and light brown sugar together until smooth. Stir in the cooled reduced apple cider and the cider vinegar, mixing well to incorporate.
  5. Form the batter: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients. Stir gently just until combined to avoid overmixing, which could make the cake tough.
  6. Transfer to cake pan: Pour the batter into the prepared 9-inch cake pan, spreading it evenly.
  7. Set up pressure cooker: Place a trivet inside the pressure cooker pot and pour about 1 cup of water into the bottom. Carefully place the cake pan on the trivet, ensuring it is stable and above the water level.
  8. Cook the cake: Seal the pressure cooker lid and set to cook at high pressure for 35 minutes. Once cooking is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally before opening the lid.
  9. Glaze the cake: Once the cake has cooled slightly, dust the top generously with powdered sugar to create a sweet glaze that complements the spiced apple flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh apple cider for the best flavor; avoid using artificial or concentrate cider.
  • Ensure the reduced apple cider is fully cooled before mixing with other ingredients to prevent activating baking soda prematurely.
  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain a tender crumb texture.
  • Check the seal and water level in the pressure cooker before cooking to prevent burning.
  • Once cooked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before removing to avoid breaking.
  • This cake can be stored covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 4 days.
  • The glaze with powdered sugar can be substituted with a simple apple cider glaze or cream cheese frosting for variation.
