Caramel Apple Pound Cake is inspired by the love of great fair food. This pound cake is studded with fresh chunks of apples, spices, and drizzled with the perfect caramel glaze.
Caramel Apple Pound Cake
Doesn't this picture just look sinful? This cake was entered into our local county fair's apple cake contest. I entered this but did not place. I have to admit I was a little disappointed but that is OK. This cake is a winner for sure. There was a lot of competition and let's face it, we live in a small town. It doesn't bother me though, I would rather win a contest rightfully than to win because someone knew who I was.
There is just something about a pound cake. Looks so heavenly in the pan. I used to have the hardest time with the cake sticking to the pan. It would drive me crazy to have such a pretty cake turn out in pieces.
Just the smell of this cake baking screams fall. The caramel glaze just sends this over the top.
The perfect companion to my morning cup of coffee.
