This buttery caramel apple cake will be quickly devoured!

Ingredients

Cake Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour sifted
  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 large eggs yolks and whites separated
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup applesauce
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 cup milk

Caramel Ingredients:

  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

Cake Instructions:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Butter and flour bottom and sides of a glass 9x13 baking dish. 
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine sifted flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.  Whisk together well. 
  • In a stand mixer or separate large bowl with a hand mixer, beat egg whites until firm peak forms (6 to 8 minutes). Gradually beat in sugar.  Add egg yolks on at a time beating in between each addition.  While mixing, slowly add in applesauce.  Beat in vanilla.
  • Add flour and milk by alternating between the flour mixture and milk.  While beating, begin by adding one-third of flour mixture and one-half of the milk ending with the flour mixture.  Make sure each addition is mixed well before adding the next addition.  Pour batter into pan.
  • Bake for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 325 degrees F. Bake for 10 additional minutes.  Let cake cool for 15 minutes.  Poke holes generously all over the cake with a fork.

Caramel Instructions:

  • Meanwhile, in a medium-sized pot over medium heat, combine all caramel ingredients EXCEPT the vanilla. While constantly stirring, monitor the heat of the mixture with a candy thermometer until it reaches 215 degrees F.  This should take about 30 minutes.  
  • Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.  Slowly drizzle half of the caramel over the cake allowing the caramel to soak in for a few minutes.  Drizzle remaining caramel evenly over the top. 
  • Serve cake warm or allow to fully cool prior to serving. Enjoy!
