Apple Cider Donut Loaf

Ingredients

• 240 g all-purpose flour
• 6 g baking powder
• 2 g baking soda
• 3 g salt
• 4 g ground cinnamon (Some is used in the loaf and some may be used in the cinnamon-sugar coating.)
• 0.5 g ground nutmeg
• 113 g butter (Melted and cooled.)
• 100 g light brown sugar (Packed.)
• 55 g granulated sugar (The source gives ¼ cup + 1 tablespoon; the gram amount is authoritative. Some sugar may be used in the cinnamon-sugar coating.)
• 100 g eggs (About 2 large eggs.)
• 8 g vanilla extract
• 360 g apple cider (Reduce to 120 g (½ cup); use the reduction in the loaf and to brush the cooled loaf.)
• 120 g unsweetened applesauce
• 60 g Greek yogurt
• 2 g lemon zest (About the zest of half a lemon.)
• cinnamon sugar (For coating the cooled loaf; quantity not specified.)

Steps

1. 1

   Reduce the apple cider from 360 g to 120 g to concentrate its flavor. Set the reduction aside to cool; reserve enough to brush over the baked loaf.

2. 2

   While the cider cools, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl.

3. 3

   Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, lemon zest, and cooled melted butter to the cooled apple cider reduction, then mix to combine.

4. 4

   Add the eggs, Greek yogurt, applesauce, and vanilla extract to the cider mixture and mix until combined.

5. 5

   Add the dry ingredients to the cider mixture and mix until the batter is combined. Do not overmix.

6. 6

   Transfer the batter to a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan.

7. 7

   Bake at 350°F for 45 minutes, or until the loaf is baked through.

8. 8

   Allow the loaf to cool completely.

9. 9

   Brush the cooled loaf all over with the apple cider reduction.

10. 10

    Coat the brushed loaf in cinnamon sugar, then serve.

Notes

The source does not specify the amount of cinnamon sugar for coating or the exact reduction technique. The transcript emphasizes that lemon zest enhances the apple flavor.
