Apple Cake and Cupcake Recipe with Salted Caramel Buttercream

Hooray for fall, and cooler weather, and pumpkins, and APPLES!  I love apple pie, apple fritters, apple cider, apple donuts, caramel apples.  And just plain old apples, of course.  Fresh from the farm, crisp and juicy--there's nothing better!   

One of my favorite ways to use bountiful autumn apples is in apple spice cake (or cupcakes, here!)

Apple Cake Recipe:

• 2 eggs
• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1/2 t salt
• 1 t cinnamon
• 1 t vanilla extract
• 1 t baking soda
• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 1/2 cup buttermilk (or regular milk mixed with a little vinegar or lemon juice)
• 4 cups of diced apples

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Beat the sugars and softened butter together.  Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each.
2. Add the cinnamon, salt, baking soda, vanilla, buttermilk, and flour, mixing until combined.
3. Cup measure of chopped apples next to a whole apple
4. Peel and chop the apples--you want about four cups total.  I like to use a variety of apples in a single cake; it adds complexity, different textures and flavors.  If you're making the cake into cupcakes, make the apple pieces fairly small.  You can get away with larger chunks or slices if you're making a 9x13 or 2 8" round pans.  Mix the apples gently in the rest of the cake batter at the end.
