Ingredients

Scale
  • 1–½ cups fresh apple cider
  • 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, diced
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup lightly packed brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup light olive oil
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 1–½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1–½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • Pinch allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
  • 1–¾ cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a 9-inch square baking dish with butter and parchment paper.
  2. In a large sauté pan, bring the apple cider to a boil until reduced by half (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and whisk in diced butter until melted.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, olive oil, sour cream, baking powder, baking soda, spices, and salt until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the reduced cider mixture to the wet ingredients while whisking continuously.
  5. Gently fold in the flour until just combined; avoid overmixing.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Bake for 22–25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Cool slightly before topping with room temperature butter and sprinkling with cinnamon sugar.
