There is nothing I love more an easy dessert and this cake is the easiest!  All you need is a cake mix and some apple cider for the start of this delicious cake. 

I love how easy this cake is to make but it is so flavorful!  I love when Fall comes around and we go to the apple orchard and pick apples.  They always have amazing apple cider and apple cider doughnuts.  I love that I can start with a cake mix and make an incredible bundt cake that tastes just like those delicious doughnuts.
