How to Make Autumn Spice Pound Cake W Pomegranate Glaze

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree and ¼ cup apple cider.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently fold in 2 cups peeled and diced apples.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared tube pan and bake for 65-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once the cake is completely cooled (about 1 hour), prepare the pomegranate glaze (see glaze recipe below) and drizzle it over the cake.
