I’m so sorry you had a problem with that. This cake is a bit more donut in texture and not as much cake like.

Flavor was good, cake was gummy. I’m not sure what I did wrong. I’ve been baking for years and haven’t had this issue.

Turned out great! My very picky son loved it. I read some of the comments and ended up going with the longer bake time. It didn’t need it. The apple flavor is a bit subtle but maybe it’s because I used unsweetened apple sauce? Will definitely make again!

Couldn’t wait until fall to try this delicious Apple Cider Donut Bundt cake. Glad I didn’t wait. A delicious cake. Moist, light and very tasty. Need a cake that’s good with your coffee? This is the cake. Full of flavor❤️

No it is best to follow the instructions and not make this substitution.

Hi Evie, I spoke with the author of this recipe and she said that it could be that the cake wasn’t baked enough. She also said that the texture of the cake should be more like a donut instead of a typical bundt cake.

I made this cake to take to my Mother-n-laws for a fall get together. I was to embarrass to take it. Like some of the others it was to gummy. I went strictly by the recipe. It doesn’t matter whose recipe this is, I will never make it again. This was a miss.

I have a recipe for baked apple cider donuts, which I love, so was excited to try this one. I agree with what others are saying that the flavor is delicious but there’s something off. There’s a moist cake but this was gummy. I followed the recipe as written except used avocado oil instead of vegetable oil since that’s what I had and will not be trying this one again due to the texture. I used not only a long wooden cake tester but also my Bundt cake tester, too. Both indicated this was done but in reality, only the outside edge of the cake was really good. The flavor was amazing but baking is a science and an art. This recipe clearly demonstrated the artistic side but the science was lacking.

This sounds delicious! I cannot eat vegetable oils because I have a metabolic problem. What can I use to substitute? I would like to make this for Thanksgiving. Thanks!
