Soft and tender Apple Spice Cake with Caramel Icing is full of warm cinnamon and chunks of apples. This homemade cake just makes you want to curl up with a warm blanket.
Preheat oven to 350 °F. Grease and flour two 8 or 9 inch round pans or one 9×13-inch pan. Sift the cake flour and then measure out 3 cups into a large mixing bowl.
In the bowl of an electric mixer combine brown sugar, butter, applesauce, and buttermilk. Beat for 2 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat 2 more minutes.
