Notes
Are you planning to bake for a group or want to explore the world of gluten-free treats? No worries! Our beloved Apple Cider Doughnut Cake can cater to this requirement well. Instead of using the Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ Yellow Cake Mix search for a high-quality yellow cake mix that is specifically labeled as gluten-free, from your preferred brand. Make sure it doesn't have any sources of gluten. Also double check all the ingredients and apple cider to ensure there is no risk of gluten contamination. Remember, even though you're adapting the recipe, for reasons you're still infusing this cake with loads of love and autumnal magic.
