Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
  • For the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the apple cider, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. If using, fold in the chopped pecans.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  8. In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle evenly over the batter.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For an even richer flavor, you can reduce the apple cider slightly by simmering it for a few minutes before using.
  • This bread freezes well. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil.
  • Consider this a great alternative to traditional baked goods, offering a delightful flavor profile similar to what you might find with some meal planning services focused on baked goods.
