Ingredients

Scale

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9” square baking dish. Line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

  3. In a bowl, combine eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, olive oil, sour cream, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, and salt.
  4. Slowly whisk in the boiled cider mixture until well combined.
  5. Gently fold in the flour until just mixed—don’t overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared dish and bake for about 22 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.
