Caramel Apple Cake With Caramel Topping ( Paula Deen)

"This rich cake was served at 'The Lady and Sons' restaurant's in Savannah, GA. It is a poke cake with a caramel sauce. It tastes like a caramel apple in a pan! My cake bakes for 50 minutes."

  1. I read the reviews before making this. I was unsure what to expect as there are good and bad reviews. I was wondering why there was no baking powder or salt. I cut back on the oil in the cake to 1 cup from 1 1/2 cups. I probably should have cut back on the flour too at that point, as the mixture was almost like cookie dough rather than cake batter. It ended up ok though. Although I really regret not adding salt. I will add at least 1/2 tsp or more next time. As for the topping, you don't need to use all of it. I just drizzled it on top until it looked like it was sufficiently covered. If you use all of the topping I imagine it would be way too sweet. After you let it set for a few hours it really came together nicely. It's sweet, but not overly. And I liked how the topping hardens up.
     
  2. I made this cake and found it to be very heavy and way too sweet. I mean there's four cups of sugar in this thing!!! Holy cow!! I wo t make it again.
     
  3. I thought this cake was just OK. It was very bland, too sweet, and too oily for my family's tastes. I wouldn't make it again, but if I did, I would add cinnamon, salt, and twice the apples. I will be looking for another apple cake recipe that is healthier, spicer and has less sugar and more apples.
     
  4. I just noticed I did not review this yet!! I made this cake to go along with the pies on Thanksgiving!! WOW!! Everyone loved it!! Very rich and decadent! I baked the cake 3 days prior to serving it...and it was perfect! Thank you Connie K!!
