In a large bowl, cream the sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and cloves.

Add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture alternately with the apple cider and vanilla extract, mixing until well blended.

Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

While the cake is baking, prepare the buttermilk glaze. In a saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, buttermilk, vanilla extract, and baking soda. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

When the cake is warm, drizzle half of the buttermilk glaze over the top. Serve the remaining glaze alongside the cake, if desired.
