In a large mixing bowl, cream sugar and butter. Add eggs, one at a
time, beating well after each addition. Stir together all dry
ingredients; set aside. Combine cider and vanilla. Add dry
ingredients alternately with cider mixture to batter. Mix until well
blended. Spoon into a greased 10-inch angel food cake pan or fluted
tube pan. Bake at 325~F for about 1 hour and 10 minutes or until cake
tests done. Meanwhile, combine all icing ingredients in a saucepan.
Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes. While cake is
warm, drizzle 1/3 of the icing over the cake. Serve remaining icing
over individual cake servings, if desired.
