Caramel Apple Cake- A simple cake for special occasion....

Caramel apples are fall's greatest pleasures. I always thought of trying them, but thinking about the calories never dared to taste them. As today is our wedding anniversary, like every year, this year too, I thought of baking a cake. I always have a batch of homemade caramel in the refrigerator. My daughter drizzles them on ice creams, or on toast and so on. I wanted to make a cake using caramel and so this caramel apple cake clicked in my mind.

This is a super soft, moist, delicious cake which will be finished within no time. The addition of apple sauce, caramel sauce gives a light and fluffy texture.

Every year for our anniversary, I will be baking different varieties of cake with varieties of frosting. This year I wanted a simple cake without any frostings. I decorated the cake with powdered sugar and drizzled with caramel.

I got the recipe for the cake from the blog "Sugarhero", which has got some amazing dessert recipes. I modified the quantity accordingly and baked a soft, moist cake which we all enjoyed and shared with our friends.

This cake looks tedious but can be done within less time. This will be a perfect cake for birthdays or any other occasions. You can decorate this cake with your choice of frosting. In anyways, this cake will taste delicious. Try this out and let me know how it turned out.
