Ingredients
For the Apple Bundt Cake
-
15.25 oz package yellow cake mix
-
3.4-oz package white chocolate instant pudding mix
-
1 cup water
-
4 eggs slightly beaten
-
1/3 cup applesauce
-
3 apples peeled and diced (I had about 3 cups of diced apples)
Caramel Frosting
-
1/4 cup butter
-
1/4 cup brown sugar
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
-
1 cup powdered sugar*
Directions
PREP: Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan. Alternately, spray with baking spray (not nonstick cooking spray).
MIX: In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, pudding mix, water, eggs and apple sauce. Beat with a hand mixer for 2 minutes. Fold in the apples.
BAKE: Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about 55 minutes.
COOL: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool for 10-20 minutes, then turn out to cool completely.
FROSTING: Once cool, make the frosting. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, brown sugar, salt and whipping cream. Cook, stirring constantly, until the butter melts and the mixture comes to a boil. Allow the mixture to boil for one minute, then remove from the heat and let it sit for 5 minutes. Gradually whisk in the powdered sugar until smooth. Immediately pour the icing over the cake and allow it to sit for at least 10 minutes before serving.
