  • 1 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground all spice
  • 100 g granulated sugar
  • 100 g dark brown sugar
  • 200 g apples (grated)
  • 110 g vegetable oil (room temperature)
  • 2 eggs (room temperature)
  • 140 g sour cream (14-18% room temperature)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 100 g butter (room temperature)
  • 165 g powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the caramel sauce by combining granulated sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat until golden brown. Remove from heat and stir in butter, heavy cream, and salt.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and allspice in a bowl.
  3. In another bowl, combine granulated sugar, dark brown sugar, and vegetable oil. Beat in eggs one at a time; then add sour cream and vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture along with grated apples. Pour into a prepared cake pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  5. For the buttercream, beat room-temperature butter with powdered sugar until fluffy; mix in caramel sauce and vanilla extract.
  6. Once cooled, frost the cake with the caramel buttercream and drizzle any remaining caramel on top.
