This is a different recipe than most of the cake ingredients I have done and it is a dense cake but so good... Better after the frosting has been on the cake overnight....soaks in...
Caramel Apple Cake
Cake
1 cup vegetable oil
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
3 cups flour sifted
1/2 teas salt
1 teas baking soda
1 teas cinnamon (more if you like cinnamon)
2 teas vanilla
1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
3 cups peeled and chopped apples
Frosting
1/2 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup half and half milk
1/2 teas vanilla
Directions
Cake
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 9 x 13 pan. Combine oil sugar, vanilla and eggs. Stir in sifted flour, salt, cinnamon and baking soda. Add apples and pecans. Spread in prepared pan and bake for 45-50 minutes. Cool for 2 hours. Then prepare frosting.
Frosting
Boil all the ingredients in a small pan for 2 minutes. Set pan in bowl filled with ice water. Beat icing until of spreading consistency. Spread on top of cake.
That's it and like I said this is better when the icing is on the cake overnight as it just melts into the cake....
