Apple Cider Bundt Cake

Apple Cider Bundt Cake:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

You'll need one 9"- 10" (12 C) Bundt pan. I grease it with my Pan Release Mix. (equal parts of Crisco, Vegetable Oil and Flour) You can make a large batch and refrigerate it if you do a lot of baking. I keep it in a jar in the refrigerator. I lasts a long time!  I start with 1 C of each and refrigerate it in a jar. It's a foolproof release method especially in a detailed Bundt Cake Pan.
