Time 1h5m

Yield one 13-by-9-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
2 cups (about 2 apples) grated unpeeled Granny Smith apple (see Cook's Note)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Homemade Caramel Sauce, recipe follows
Whipped cream or ice cream (optional)
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup half-and-half
4 tablespoons butter
Pinch of kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Beat the butter with a mixer at medium speed until fluffy; gradually add the sugar, beating well. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until blended after each addition. Add the apple, beating just until blended.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves and salt; add to the butter mixture, and mix just until blended. Stir in the walnuts, if desired.
  • Pour into a lightly greased 13-by-9-inch baking pan. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or just until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool on a wire rack 10 minutes. Serve with Homemade Caramel Sauce and, if desired, whipped cream or ice cream.
  • Cook the sugar, half-and-half, butter, and salt in a small saucepan over medium-low for 5 to 7 minutes, whisking slowly, until thickened. Remove from the heat, and let cool slightly before serving.
  • Keep refrigerated up to one week after you make it. Just be sure to warm it up before serving.
