I love old fashioned cakes like this. There are lots of apples in this cake, it's soft and moist. There's also a hot caramel sauce poured over the cake after it's baked that makes this outrageously delicious!

I've been making a cake similar to this for about thirty years. But I've gotta tell you, I like this one better. What makes this cake killer is the caramel frosting you make and pour over the cake. Make the cake let it cool , make the caramel sauce and pour the hot caramel sauce over the cake. Uh huh, gooey delicious caramel over a moist apple filled cake. *Sigh* You know you need this kids. It's easy, fast to make and incredibly delicious. This is a keeper! Enjoy!

Hi, no spices? And 1 cup of oil to 2 cups of flour?
Laura it was very easy to put together, and girl I don't know of anything that doesn't taste better with caramel on it! LOL!!
Maria, THANK YOU so much!
Tara, yes that's the ratio, you can add cinnamon or any spice you want to the cake! Thanks for stopping by!
John please do make it, your going to love it. Thanks so much for visiting!
Hello...I made this cake last weekend after picking fresh apples. I added a little cinnamon and it turned out GREAT!! Took it to work and it was gone in no time.
Definitely a keeper...have more apples to use up!!
Does this freeze well?
Making this right now :)
can u use butter instead of oil?
it sounds really good but think I will had cinnamon too
Emily, I would put the topping on if your going to freeze it. freeze the cake part and then when you're ready to un freeze it,let it come to room temp ,make the topping and pour over the cake.
Tina thank you for coming back and telling me you made it! that's awesome!
Anonymous, yes add cinnamon it'll go very well in the cake, maybe a tsp. if you sub butter for the oil, melt the butter first.
Tried this recipe today....I baked the cake for about 30 mins because otherwise it would have burned and dried out! To prevent it from being dry I poked holes in the top and poured the carmel sauce on top. The batter wasnt the usual cake batter. But the cake tasted great.
Thank you cupcakekate for letting me know you made it!
Good cake and easy to make. Needs cinnamon or nutmeg. Very bland
Good cake and easy to make...just needs cinnamon!
This cake is fantastic! I have made it twice in the past two weeks and everyone has loved it and asked for the recipe. The additional beauty of this cake and recipe is that not only is delicious, but it is so easy to make! Thank you!
I made this with the addition of cinnamon as some commenters suggested. The cake was really easy to throw together. Mine cooked the way that another commenter mentioned, where the top looked almost burned after 30 minutes but the inside was liquid. After 50 minutes it was fully baked and the top didn't actually burn. My issue was with the topping. The caramel dried hard--brittle like. I'm assuming I cooked it too long?

Shannon, yes sweetie you cooked it too long. Next time start with low heat and keep stirring until it boils, after it boils stop stirring and let boil for 3 minutes. It'll climb the pan a little bit. Hope you do make it again! Just remember low heat for the sauce.
I'm going to make this tonight and I will let you know how it turns outs. I am going to sub applesauce for some of the oil and add cinnimmon.
Great Suga330! i can't wait to hear about it!
Had this at a get- together today so tracked down the recipe. Was wonderful and brought home what was left over -- which wasn't much! Thanks :-)
desert g.ma, I'm really glad you were able to find the recipe! Thank you for stopping by, I hope you make the cake soon!
If you don't want to 'make' your own car
amel sauce then buy a jar of caramel topping (like you put over ice cream) and pour it into a microwave cup and microwave it until it is hot..then pour this over the cake that has been poked with holes. That way you won't have to worry about your caramel sauce getting too hard
.
I made this twice in 3 days! So easy and everyone loved it. I followed the directions but added cinnamon the 1st time, today I added walnuts as well. My husband loves it both ways. A keeper, I'll even be making it for Thanksgiving.
Thanks
Brenda you've been baking up a storm! Thank you for coming back and telling me you made it and loved it!!
Anonymous, thank you for the caramel topping tip! That makes this cake just that more do able for more people. THANK YOU!!
Hi Bunny, Just wondering what apples you used as there are so many to choose from!
Thanks,
Janice
jscow, i always use Gala apples when I bake. Thanks for stopping by!
Happy Thanksgiving! I'm taking this goodie to share with my family. I baked it in a spring form pan. Timing was perfect and it's such a pretty cake. Mine did deflate in the middle a bit, but it's still great. I'm making the topping shortly, but I think this would be great and very pretty sprinkled with powdered sugar.
You had me at Apple Cake and then you added the hot Caramel sauce!! Oh Goodness:)))
Hugs
PS Pinning!!
PSS Have you shared this at Freedom Fridays yet??
Thank you Evelyn!!!
Bunny. Found your cake on Pinterest. My husband loves apples and he loved this cake. I did make an adjustment of 1/4 tsp allspice, 1/4 tsp ground cloves and 1 tsp cinnamon. It was delicious and I use condensed milk trick for caramel sauce. Thank you for the cake. I'm taking it to my next church social.
I love this cake! I have always used red apples, but wondered if green apples would work?
