Winter Spice Cake with Caramelized Apple Topping
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
-
In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
While the cake is baking, prepare the caramelized apple topping. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and caramelized, about 10 minutes.
-
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once the cake has cooled, spread the caramelized apple topping evenly over the top. Serve with whipped cream, if desired.
