How To Make caramel apple cake

• Step 1
  Preheat oven to 325.
• Step 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.
• Step 3
  Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, allspice and cloves together into a large bowl. Set aside.
• Step 4
  In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter until creamy, about 4 minutes.
• Step 5
  Add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the egg and beat until combined.
• Step 6
  Add the flour mixture to the mixing bowl in three parts, alternating with the applesauce, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
• Step 7
  Scrape down the bowl, then mix on low speed for a few more seconds.
• Step 8
  Divide the batter among the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
• Step 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.
• Step 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.
