Ingredients for making apple cider donut cake recipe.
For the cake:
Dry Ingredients – You will need the standard cake batter ingredients including flour, granulated sugar, salt, and baking powder.

Wet Ingredients – The remaining cake batter ingredients you will need are eggs, vanilla extract, and softened butter.

Apple Pie Spice – This is pretty similar to pumpkin pie spice as both contain some of the same ingredients like cinnamon and allspice. You could use pumpkin pie spice in the donut cake if that’s all you have available. The main difference between the two are that pumpkin spice contains cloves and apple pie spice does not.
Apple Cider – If you’ve got a local orchard for fresh apple cider that’s the best! I’d recommend sticking to apple cider and not using apple juice, but either will work. Juice just tends to be a bit sweeter than cider.
