Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert

Time 1h

Yield Serves 12-14

Number Of Ingredients 11

225g softened salted butter, plus extra for the tins
125g golden caster sugar
100g light brown soft sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 large eggs
225g self raising flour
2 tbsp milk
toffee, chocolate or caramel pieces, to decorate
200g softened salted butter
400g icing sugar (golden icing sugar if you can find it - it adds a golden colour and caramel flavour)
70g caramel sauce, dulce de leche or caramel spread, plus 3 tbsp to serve

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter two 20cm springform tins and line the bases with baking parchment.
  • Beat the butter and both sugars in a bowl with an electric whisk for a few mins until lighter in colour and fluffy. Add the vanilla and the eggs, one at a time, adding a spoonful of flour and beating in between each egg. Add the remaining flour and milk. Divide between the cake tins and bake for 25-30 mins until they're golden, spring back when pressed, and a skewer comes out clean when inserted into the middle. Cool in the tins for a few mins, then tip out and leave to cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Meanwhile, for the icing, put the butter and icing sugar in a bowl and whisk for a few mins until light and airy. Whisk in the caramel briefly, adding 1 tbsp of boiling water to loosen, if needed. Set aside until the sponges are completely cool before assembling, or the icing will melt.
  • Use half the icing to sandwich the cakes together, then spread the remainder over the top, smoothing it out with a knife or the back of a spoon. Leave in a cool place until ready to serve. Drizzle with the 3 tbsp extra sauce (warm briefly in the microwave if it's a little stiff), allowing some to drip down the sides if you like, and scatter over the toffee, chocolate or caramel pieces to serve. Edible glitter, birthday candles or sparklers, optional.

EASY CARAMEL APPLE CAKE WITH WHIPPED CREAM FROSTING



Easy Caramel Apple Cake with whipped Cream Frosting image

While grocery shopping with my son, we sopped in the baked goods aisle to pic up some chocolate chips, walnuts and toffee. He loves to shop and saw a cake mix for apple caramel cake cake. Being a true lover of both ingredients he of course had to have it. Also while shopping I picked up a large variety of ice cream toppings of his choice lol to include hot caramel topping. Upon returning home I decided to go ahead and make him his cake, however when i opened the caramel packet that came with the cake, it smelled and tasted a whole lot like butterscotch. Which btw he hates. So I pulled out the hot caramel topping, trashed the butterscotch tasting packet from the cake and proceeded to make these. They didnt last long on the serving dish, once drizzeled with more caramel and topped with a decadent homemade whipped cream frosting.

- 1 duncan hines apple caramel decadent cake mix and the ingredients needed for cake portion. (discard caramel packet and ignore ingredients needed for that)
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon
- smuckers hot caramel topping
WHIPPED CREAM FROSTING
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 envelope of unflavored gelatin
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 c confectioners sugar
- 3 c whipping cream

Steps:

  • Prepare cake mix according to box. Add cinnamon and mix in.
  • Pour cake mix into pan sprayed with non stick cooking spray (I used my amazing brownie pan but you can use a regular cake pan)
  • Open jar of caramel topping and spoon a teaspoon randomly throughout cake mix. (i used my brownie pan divider to put a teaspoon into each section then removed the divider for the next step)
  • Swirl the caramel thru cake using a butter knife.
  • Bake in 350 degree oven according to directions on box. Testing 5 minutes before called for time to check for doneness. (toothpick comes out clean and cake is springy not jiggly)
  • Allow to cool completely and then cut into desired size pieces. (i removed my divider and transferred slices to another plate)
  • Warm remaining caramel topping in microwave till pourable but still thick. and drizzle over top of each cake slice
  • Now add a nice dollop of whipped cream frosting to each cake.
  • Watch them disappear
  • Frosting: Sprinkle unflavored gelatin over 3 tablespoons of water in a glass bowl or measuring cup. Let sit until geleatin softens up. Now microwave on HIGH for about 10 seconds and then stir until the gelatin dissolves completely. Allow toc cool for 2 to 3 minutes. Gelatin has to be in a liquid form and not warm. Beat cream in a large mixing bowl at high speed until soft peaks begin to form. Add confectioners sugar to this and whip until you see peaks holding their shape in the bowl. Add the cooled gelatin slowly and in a steady stream while beating the mixture. Now add vanilla and beat till stiff peaks. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Refrigerate frosted cakes until ready to eat.

EASY CHEWY CARAMEL CAKE MIX BROWNIES



Easy Chewy Caramel Cake Mix Brownies image

I found this simple recipe on the back of a chocolate chip package, and they are fantastic! I mixed butterscotch, bourdeaux syrup and caramel sauce for mine, however, one of the three would work as well. **NOTE: Be sure the caramel or butterscotch you use is the thickest one you can find. If you use a thin one, it will cause problems when setting.
