Caramel Apple Spice Cake

Ingredients

Cake

  • 1 box Betty Crocker Super Moist Butter Pecan Cake Mix
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 dash salt
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp vanilla

Filling

  • 1 can apple pie filling

Vanilla Buttercream Icing

  • 3 sticks butter (room temp)
  • 5 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 splash vanilla extract

Caramel Sauce

  • The recipe I used is from Baked By An Introvert. The link to that post is below this recipe.

Instructions

Cake

  1. Mix all of the dry ingredients in one bowl and wet ingredients in another.

  2. Slowly add the mixed dry ingredients to your wet ingredients until all is combined.

  3. Follow baking instructions on back of cake box. (My oven is off by an outrageous amount so I can't honestly say what temperature I was at and for how long.)

Vanilla Buttercream Icing

  1. Beat the butter until whipped.

  2. Slowly add in the powdered sugar until all is combined.

  3. Add the vanilla extract.

  4. You can keep adding powdered sugar until you reach your desired consistency. If it's too thick, add a tablespoon of milk.

Creating the Cake

  1. Once the layers have cooled, add a layer of frosting to the top of your first layer and smooth out.

  2. Build a wall of icing around the edge of the cake. Make sure this wall is tall and thick enough to hold in your apple pie filling.

  3. Add a layer of apple pie filling, drizzle with caramel sauce and top with the next cake layer.

  4. Continue this process for the rest of the layers.

  5. Frost the rest of the cake and then add caramel sauce to the top, letting it run down the cake. You can add other garnishes such as apple slices to the top.
