I first made this cake back in 2019, and I can still say without a shadow of a doubt: THIS IS <still> THE BEST CAKE I’VE EVER MADE!
Deliciously moist, caramel-covered, and perfect for autumn (my favorite season AND my daughter’s middle name! 🍂🥰). I’m so excited that I’ll be making this cake for all my #TeamNosh gals at our upcoming retreat in Washington state!
This was the og photo, but today I added a how-to video onto IG to show you how easily it comes together. The star of the show: these Autumn Glory apples.
And be sure to check out these Autumn Glory apple quesadillas that are going viral right now, with over half a million views!
Caramel Apple Olive Oil Cake
Servings 8 servings
Equipment
- 1 bundt pan
- 1 potato masher or immersion hand blender
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 2 Autumn Glory apples
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1-2 tsp cinnamon
- 3/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almondmilk or sub milk of choice
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup coconut sugar or sub raw cane sugar
For Topping
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- 1/3 cup chopped honey roasted pecans
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Get out 3 mixing bowls.
- In the largest mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, and sea salt. Stir and then set aside.
- Boil the diced apples in about 1 cup of water on medium high for approximately 20 minutes. If all the water evaporates, add a little more into the pan. Once cooked/softened, use a potato masher to smash them (or use aknife to dice even more finely).
- In a smaller mixing bowl, combined the cooked apples with the olive oil, vanilla, and almondmilk.
- In a third bowl, combine the eggs and sugar. Using a hand mixer, mix on medium-high for 2 – 3 minutes. Then, pour the egg mixture into the apple mixture. Stir. Then, pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir until just combined. Do not over stir.
- Pour the batter into a greased bundt pan, then bake for 45minutes.
- Once the cake is finished, let it cool on the counter for 20 minutes. Then, flip it over onto a parchment lined cake plate. Drizzle the caramel over the cake. Then, sprinkle on the chopped pecans. Enjoy!
