Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 1 15.25 ounce box of vanilla cake mix
  • 1 3.4 ounce package instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 3 Apple Cider Tea Bags steeped in 1 cup boiling water cooled, divided
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup applesauce I used cinnamon applesauce
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
  • 1 cup apple peeled and shredded
  • 2 Tablespoons flour
  • Drizzle of Caramel Syrup

For The Glaze:

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
  • remaining 1/4 cup apple cider tea

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a mixing bowl on low combine cake mix, pudding mix, applesauce, eggs, vanilla paste, oil and 3/4 cup of the tea for 30 seconds. Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes.
  • Mix the shredded apple with flour, and fold into the cake batter.
  • Pour into the prepared pan, bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  • Cool for a few minutes before inverting onto a plate. Drizzle with caramel sauce.
  • Combine powdered sugar with vanilla bean paste and the remaining tea a little at a time until the desired consistency is reached. I like mine on the thicker side.
  • Pour over cake. Serve immediately, or place in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Store leftovers in the fridge.
