Ingredients

• GLAZE:
• 3/4 cup butter, softened
• 1-1/2 cups sugar
• 3 Eggland's Best Eggs
• 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°. Line bottom of a greased 9x5-in. loaf pan with parchment paper; grease paper.

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with cider, beating well after each addition.

Transfer to prepared pan. Bake 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

In a small bowl, mix glaze ingredients until smooth; spoon over top of cake, allowing it to flow over sides.
