Sparkling Cider Pound Cake

A perfectly moist pound cake with hints of fall in each bite, this Sparking Cider Pound Cake is sure to be a hit!

When I think of a crisp fall day, I imagine myself cozied up on a blanket, reading a book and sipping on a pumpkin spice latte or a caramel apple cider.  Why is it that pumpkin and apple seem to be such a HUGE symbol of fall?  I don’t know and I’m not complaining, because I love them both.  Last week I shared a Pumpkin Pull Apart Bread, so it’s only fair to share an apple recipe this week, right?

I love cake and this one was no exception — the glaze also has hints of the cider in it too.  A recipe you must try at-least once, and let me know what you think!
