Ingredients

For the Loaf:

1 cup apple cider (organic, NOT apple cider vinegar)
3/4 cup Greek yogurt (organic, nonfat)
2 tsp vanilla extract (organic)
4 tbsp butter (grass fed, unsalted - I prefer the brand Kerrygold)
2 eggs (large organic, at room temperature)
1/2 cup brown monk fruit (or brown sugar substitute of choice)
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (organic, or oat flour works too)
2 tbsp corn starch
1 1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp sea salt (fine)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg

For the Donut Topping:

1 tbsp butter (grass fed, unsalted)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 cup monk fruit (granular, or granular sweetener of choice)

Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 325°F. Spray a 9x5 loaf pan and line with parchment paper.
2
Add the apple cider to a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil for about 8 minutes, or until the cider has reduced to 1/2 cup. You can totally skip this step if you want and just use 1/2 cup of apple cider, but the apple taste won't be as strong. It's worth it I promise haha!
3
Pour the apple cider into a large glass measuring cup or small mixing bowl with a spout and set aside to slightly cool. Stir in the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract once the apple cider is not steaming hot.
4
Melt the butter in the same saucepan. Allow to cool slightly & set aside.
5
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
6
In a stand mixer, beat the eggs and brown monk fruit until smooth and frothy.
7
Slowly pour in the melted butter into the egg mixture, while your stand mixer is running on low speed.
8
Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, alternately with the cider/greek yogurt mixture. Mix just until combined. Don't over mix!
9
Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
10
Let the pan cool for 20 minutes, then remove the loaf from the pan.
11
For the donut coating, mix the monk fruit, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a small bowl. Brush the outside of the cake with melted butter and coat thickly with the cinnamon donut “sugar”. Immediately slice and enjoy!
