Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan with butter and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a skillet over medium heat, reduce the apple cider for about 10-15 minutes until it thickens and measures to about ½ cup.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until pale and foamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the sour cream, melted butter, ground nutmeg, vanilla extract, and the reduced apple cider to the egg mixture, whisking until smooth.
- Sift in the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Gently mix until just combined, being careful not to over-mix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- In a skillet, combine the remaining reduced apple cider, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil and simmer until thickened.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake and sprinkle with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar.
- Slice the cake into squares and serve warm with cider or coffee.

Notes
Wrap the cake in plastic wrap if storing to keep it moist. Variations can include adding chopped apples or walnuts for extra texture.
