This would be a great cake to make in the fall, but I didn't want to wait any longer! Summer Apple Cake sounds great right?! :)
Apple Cake
1/2 Cup Butter, softened
1 3/4 Cup Sugar
1 3/4 Cup Applesauce
3 Eggs
1/4 tsp. Baking Powder
1 1/2 tsp. Baking Soda
1 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Cinnamon
1/2 tsp. Ground Cloves
1/2 tsp. All Spice
1/2 tsp. Nutmeg
2 1/2 Cups Flour
Cream butter and sugar. Add applesauce and mix until combined. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing after each addition. Add dry ingredients and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes, making sure to scrape the bowl and get all the spices mixed in well.
Bake in sprayed and floured bundt pan for 45-55 minutes @ 350 degrees.
Cool on wire rack for about 20 minutes before inverting to cake platter. Prepare Hot Caramel Sauce {recipe below}.
When sauce is ready, you can either poke small holes with a toothpick into the top of the cake and drizzle the hot caramel sauce over it, or top the individual slices when served. I prefer to top individual slices... I think the caramel seeps into the cake better this way. Eat it up and enjoy every last morsel!
Hot Caramel Sauce
1/2 Cup Butter
1 Cup Brown Sugar
1/2 Cup Heavy Cream
1 tsp. Vanilla
Combine first 3 ingredients in saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil and stir for 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Serve over hot apple cake.
This looks fabulous. I will make it soon!
