Apple Cider Pound Cake Recipe with step by step photos - Today I'm sharing a recipe that is simply delicious! It is Apple Cider Pound Cake, and let me tell you, it is moist and amazingly good!Tell you very frankly I never used and tasted earlier how the Apple cider is but I know very well it's used in cakes and very healthy medicated cider. But recently when I've received this products from Platter share to review about it and make an absolutely delicious dish from this.

When I found this recipe for Apple Cider Pound Cake I knew it would be a hit, and it definitely was. The cider gives it a unique flavor and the topping just tops it off to perfection!
I found the recipe on Pinterest and I really liked the recipe, but I have done a small change in it, as the actual recipe used cloves but I didn't used it and used half cup of apple cider but I used 1/3 cup..
The taste of apple cider is very strong which is definitely hit to your palette, so I just used it according to our family taste. This apple cider pound cake has the gorgeous, tight crumb that I expect from a pound cake with tons of moisture.
It’s even better on days 2 and 3 (although it almost never makes it to day 3 in my house…), and it’s equally perfect with a cup of tea or coffee for dessert or a glass of milk for breakfast.
