Instructions

  1. Begin by making the salted caramel sauce: Combine granulated sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat until dissolved. Simmer until deep amber, then stir in butter, heavy cream, and salt. Set aside to cool.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a cake pan.
  3. In one bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and allspice.
  4. In another bowl, mix sugars with grated apples and oil. Add eggs one at a time, then stir in sour cream and vanilla.
  5. Gradually incorporate dry ingredients into the wet mixture without overmixing.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. While cooling, prepare the buttercream by mixing room temperature butter with powdered sugar and cooled caramel sauce.
  8. Once cooled completely, frost the cake with buttercream and drizzle remaining caramel sauce on top.
