Instructions
Apple spiced cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F and spray the bundt pan with non stick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, mix together oil, both sugars, apple sauce, eggs and the spices.
- Next add in flour and baking soda, mix this with a wooden spoon until everything is well combined.
- Next fold in your diced apples and give it one final mix. Transfer everything to the bundt pan and place in the oven at 350°F for 40-45 mins, until the center is cooked.
Cardamom Caramel
- In a small sauce pan, add butter, brown sugar and ground cardamom. Mix everything together until the sugar is dissolved (4-6 mins) on med low heat. Next gently add in the heavy cream and stir, you will see the color from dark to light. Add in the powdered sugar and whisk the caramel sauce until you no longer have any lumps from the powdered sugar.
- Drizzle the cardamon caramel over the cake and sprinkle with pecans. Enjoy!
Notes
- Once the cake is done baking and and starts to cool off, start making your caramel sauce because if you make it in advance it will harden.
- For eggless version, replace 2 eggs with 1/3 cup of full fat yogurt.
