Then I discovered this Salted Caramel Apple Cake recipe – and life took on new meaning.

The roundness and complexity of the salted caramel is perfectly balanced by the freshness of the appley cake. And that sauce. That gorgeous, gorgeous salted caramel sauce. Heaven.

To be honest, I’ve never made the caramel cream that’s served with the cake. I find normal cream and/or ice-cream to be perfect.

The wickedly good Evil Shenanigans brings you this Salted Caramel Apple Cake.
