The theme for #BundtBakers for October is "It's Fall Ya'll!"
When I think about fall, I think about apples, pumpkin and salted caramel. Individually, they're all great ingredients and at first I planned on using just one or two of them, but then I thought "why not use all three?"
Recipe
#BundtBakers: Apple Pumpkin Bundt Cake with Salted Caramel Drizzle
Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 4 oz. unsweetened applesauce
- 15 oz. can pumpkin puree
- 4 medium tart-sweet apples peeled, cored and diced
For the Drizzle:
- ½ cup homemade or storebought salted caramel
- ¼ cup pecans chopped
Directions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a bundt pan with cooking spray.
- 2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Set aside.
- 3. In the bowl of your stand mixer, combine the eggs, sugar and brown sugar and beat on medium speed until lightened, about 5 minutes.
- 4. Add the vanilla, applesauce and pumpkin until combined.
- 5. Slowly add the flour and mix until just combined. Stir in the diced apples by hand.
- 6. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- 7. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the counter for 1 hour. Use a butterknife to run around the edges of the cake, gently pulling it away from the pan.
- 8. Place a plate on top of the pan and flip over, inverting the cake onto the plate.
- 9. Warm up the salted caramel sauce until a pouring consistency and drizzle over the cooled cake. Sprinkle immediately with chopped pecans so they stick to the caramel. Slice and serve!
