This cake is equally as good for desert and breakfast.....I love it as a coffee cake! It is a bit sweet, but heh....you only live once, right!? Start the frosting just before the cake comes out of the oven, because it has to cool before adding the sugar.

1 cup salad oil
2 cups sugar
3 cups unsweetened applesauce, heated
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup milk
2 cups confectioners' sugar

  • Cool completely.
  • Caramel Frosting:
  • Melt 1/2 c butter in sauce pan over low heat.

  • Bring to a boil over medium heat; boil hard for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

  • Return pan to heat and bring to a full boil.
  • Remove from heat; cool to lukewarm.
  • Stir in 2 c confectioner's sugar, and beat until smooth.
  • If frosting is too thick, beat in a little milk.

Tips:

  • Use a light-colored cake mix: This will help the caramel frosting stand out and make the cake look more visually appealing.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough and dense. Mix the batter until just combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from melting.
  • Make sure the frosting is at room temperature before spreading it on the cake: This will make it easier to spread and will help it adhere to the cake better.
  • If the frosting is too thick, you can add a little bit of milk or cream:
  • This will help to thin it out and make it easier to spread.
  • Be creative with your decorations: You can use sprinkles, chopped nuts, or even fresh fruit to decorate the cake.
