Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup apple cider
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup cinnamon sugar (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Gradually add this mixture to the butter and sugar, alternating with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Add Cinnamon Sugar: While the bread is still warm, sprinkle the top with cinnamon sugar. Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
