I think it would work perfectly well with a no alcohol cider if that would be acceptable DT or you could try it with apple juice.
I don't know how to put it in the article so here it is:
Cider cake (National Trust)
120g/4oz butter
250g/8oz demerara sugar (I used soft brown)
150g/5ozsultanas or raisins
7 fl.oz/200ml dry cider (still or fizzy is fine)
1 egg
310g/11oz self-raising flour
grated nutmeg and 1 tsp ground mixed spice
Glaze:
60g/2oz demerara sugar
2 tbsp cider
In a pan heat together the butter, sugar, dried fruit and cider. Bring to the boil, then allow to cool for 1 hour.
Beat the egg, then whisk the egg into the cooled mixture with a fork.
Stir in the sieved flour and spices.
Pour into a lined 2lb loaf tin. (I had a little too much mixture so 1 muffin case too).
Bake at fan 140 / Gas 3 for 1 hour 30 minutes or until a cake tester shows clean.
Heat together the sugar and cider for the glaze until syrupy (about 5 minutes) and brush over the cake as soon as it comes out of the oven.
Allow to cool in the tin.

Thanks. The n/a ciders are very sweet so maybe I’ll cut down the sugar when I try it LMH

That would probably be a good idea. I use a very dry cider and still find it sweet but my husband and MiL love it. Makes a nice pudding with some custard too.

That looks nice. I'll put it in the article.
Mug cakes might work DT. Or chocolate fridge cake
