Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper and non-stick spray.

In a stand mixer, cream together 3/4 cup softened butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar until light and fluffy.

Add 3 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the mixture is smooth.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/4 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with 1/2 cup of apple cider.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and tap it on the counter to release air bubbles.

Bake in the oven for 40-50 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool the cake in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then remove it and cool completely on a wire rack.

For the glaze, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar with 1-2 tablespoons of apple cider until smooth.

Pour the glaze over the cooled cake and let it set for 15-20 minutes before slicing.
