How To Make caramel apple cake

• 1

  Preheat oven to 325.
• 2

  Butter 3-8 inch round cake pans, line the bottoms with parchment paper and butter the parchment. Dust the parchment with flour and knock out the excess flour.
• 3

  Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, allspice and cloves together into a large bowl. Set aside.
• 4

  In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter until creamy, about 4 minutes.
• 5

  Add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the egg and beat until combined.
• 6

  Add the flour mixture to the mixing bowl in three parts, alternating with the applesauce, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
• 7

  Scrape down the bowl, then mix on low speed for a few more seconds.
• 8

  Divide the batter among the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
• 9

  Bake for 40-45 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through the baking time, until a toothpick in the center of the cake comes out clean.
• 10

  Transfer the pans to a wire rack and cool for 20 minutes. Turn the cakes out onto the rack, remove the parchment and let cool completely.
