How to Make Apple Cider Pound Cake
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ½ cup shortening until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add 2 cups granulated sugar, beating until light and fluffy.
- Add 4 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients and 1 cup apple cider to the creamed mixture, alternating between the two and beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Pour batter into a greased and floured 10-inch tube pan.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
