Caramel Apple Pumpkin Cake Recipe

The Caramel Apple Pumpkin Cake recipe screams, “Hello Fall”!

Oh yea, Fall will be here September 22^nd and I’m getting ready! Starting with this Caramel Apple Pumpkin Cake recipe.

---

As most of you loyal Sugar Babies know, Fall is my absolute favorite season. The weather is comfortable, boots are back in style, there is the sweet smell of dishes that are hearty, sweets that are made with apples and pumpkins, and football food! Man, I love football season only for the food. Aside from the football food, I mostly love all things pumpkin and apple! I also love traditional Fall events, but I will get to that later. You know what I am talking about. A classic Pumpkin Pie Recipe or a Pumpkin Streusel Pie and some awesome Apple Cider Donuts will do me just fine! Since I love them both, I could not rest finding a way to combine them both, which is why you are looking at the best thing since sliced bread that is called a Caramel Apple Pumpkin Cake.

Honestly, I knew that I wanted to make an upside-down cake of some sort but I wanted it to be seasonal, you know? That is when I knew pumpkin was definitely going to be apart of the dish. I actually made this cake twice to figure out, exactly how I wanted it and the second time for me was definitely the charm! You see, the first time I used Fiji Apples and it was good but it wasn’t great. I knew this cake could be better. So I used cake flour instead of all-purpose flour (totally fine if that is all you have), I used Honey Crisp Apples (a major Fall seasonal apple), and I added pecans, and this cake came out absolutely beautiful! It looked like something Martha Stewart would make! This cake is definitely going to be a staple dessert around the holidays, particularly Thanksgiving, in my family. I cannot wait to have them try this dessert cake. But I cannot wait for all the Fall events that are on the horizon right here in Cincinnati, OH!

For my Ohioans and Cincinnatians, we have so many great events that are coming up that I look forward to every Fall! Let’s see we have several Pumpkin Patches, apple picking, Queen City Haunted Tour (best around Halloween), King’s Island Fear Fest, HallZOOween at the Cincinnati Zoo, The Dent Schoolhouse Haunted House, and many more! If you live near the local Cincinnati, Ohio Area, I want you to add one more event to the list. That event is “The Cheese Fest” that is taking place this Saturday, September 11^th at Smale Park from 1:30 pm-7:00 pm. Let me tell you this is not just any festival, this Cheese Fest will have a specialty and imported cheeses to try from around the world. There will also be educational pairings taught by Murray’s Cheese Mongers (wine, beer, or bourbon). Oh, and did I mention live music?! This is going to be an awesome good time.

If you’re interested and have absolutely nothing to do this weekend, to buy the tickets is below! If you can’t make it, that’s okay you have a Caramel Apple Pumpkin Cake recipe to make, remember?
