Julie Sollinger's Apple Cake with Caramel Glaze
INGREDIENTS
Cake
- 1 cup butter (2 sticks)
- 1 1/3 cups sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 2 cups chopped peeled apples (about 2)
Sauce
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 heavy cream
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 pinch of salt
Heat oven to 325 and grease a loaf pan. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add the eggs, beat well then add vanilla.
In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add these to the wet ingredients and mix until blended. Fold in the apples. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for one hour or until toothpick comes out clean.
Meanwhile, combine the butter, sugar and cream in a small saucepan. Over medium heat, melt them together stirring more or less consistently. When the edges start to simmer, cook for three more minutes, then add the vanilla and remove from heat. When the cake has cooled for 20 minutes, prick all over with a fork and pour the sauce evenly on the top.
