Recipe
Apple Cake
4 dl all-purpose flour
1 ¼ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp gingerbread spice mix
1 dl granulated sugar
1 dl brown sugar
2 dl grated apple
1 ¼ dl vegetable oil
2 eggs
1 ½ dl sour cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
Caramel Buttercream
100 g butter (room temperature)
2 ½ dl powdered sugar
2-3 tsp caramel sauce
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp Caramel
Apple Cake
Preheat the oven to 170°C. Grate the apples. In a large bowl, sift all the dry ingredients together and mix well. In another bowl, whisk together the oil, eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, add the grated apples, and mix gently until the batter is smooth. Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan and let it cool completely.
Caramel Buttercream
Sift the powdered sugar and set it aside. Beat the room temperature butter in a stand mixer for about 2 minutes. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and caramel sauce, and mix all the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth.
Assemble
Place the cake on a serving dish and spread the buttercream evenly on top. Add caramel sauce and swirl it into the buttercream with a spoon or offset spatula.
