Caramel Bundt Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously butter and flour a 10-cup bundt pan.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, 1 1/3 cup of the sugar and 1 teaspoon of the pie spice together in a large bowl.
• Toss the apples with the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 teaspoon pie spice and set aside. Whisk the eggs and oil together in another bowl.
• Whisk in the sour cream, orange zest and juice, and vanilla. Pour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon just until combined but still a bit lumpy.
• Using a slotted spoon, scatter about 1/2 cup of the apples in the bottom of the bundt pan. Put about a third of the batter on top. Repeat, alternating with the remaining apples and batter, ending with the batter.
• Bake the cake until it pulls away from the sides of the pan and a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Cool 10 minutes and invert the cake onto a rack placed over a baking sheet. Cool. (The cake can be prepared to this point a day ahead.)
• To make the caramel: Combine the sugar, corn syrup, and 2 tablespoons water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook, swirling the pan but not stirring, until the sugar is dark amber-colored caramel, about 15 minutes. Pull pan from the heat and carefully pour in the cream (take care it will splatter). Stir in the pecans, vanilla, and salt. Cool until caramel becomes thick and syrupy, then evenly pour over the cake and cool until set.

Steps:

• Set oven to 350°F.
• Set oven rack to second-lowest position.
• Grease a 12-cup bundt pan.
• In a bowl, sift flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
• Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of the flour mixture into the Bundt pan and tilt pan to coat.
• In another bowl, place the chopped apples and 2 tablespoons of the flour mixture; toss to coat.
• In another bowl combine 1-1/4 cups brown sugar, 1 cup white sugar, vegetable oil, eggs and vanilla; beat with an electric mixture until combined and thick (about 4 minutes).
• Gradually beat in the remaining flour mixture until combined.
• Fold in the chopped apple mixture and pecans into the batter.
• Transfer to prepared bundt pan.
• Bake for about 1 hour or until the cake tests done.
• Transfer the cake to a rack then prepare the caramel glaze.
• To make the glaze: melt butter in a small heavy-bottomed saucepan.
• Whisk in 1 cup brown sugar then the half and half or cream.
• Continue whisking until the glaze is smooth and comes to a boil.
• Add in 1 teaspoon vanilla, and remove from heat.
• Spoon about 1/4 cup of the hot glaze over the warm cake that is still in the pan.
• Let the cake sit for 15-20 minutes to absorb the glaze.
• Turn the cake onto a platter, then pour the remaining glaze over the cake.
• Let stand until cool (at least 1 hour) before slicing.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10 inch tube pan.
• Cream together 1cup butter or margarine, shortening, brown sugar, and 1 cup white sugar. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla.
• Sift 2 1/2 cups of the flour and baking powder. Add alternately with milk to the creamed mixture. Stir 1/2 cup flour with the chopped pecans, then fold into the batter. Pour into prepared pan.
• Bake in preheated oven for 60 to 90 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let stand in pan 10 minutes, and then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely.
• To Make Frosting: In a small saucepan, beat 1 cup brown sugar, 1 cup white sugar, butter or margarine, and milk together. Bring to a rolling boil, and cook for one minute. Remove from heat, and stir in vanilla. Cool, then beat until thickened. Add a little milk if it too thick. Spread on cake.

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously grease two 9-inch round cake pans with solid vegetable shortening, then dust with flour. Shake out the excess flour. Set the pans aside.
• Place the cake mix, milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl. Blend with an electric mixer on low speed for 1 minutes. Stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat 2 minutes more, scraping the sides down again if needed. The batter should look well blended. Divide the batter between the prepared pans, smoothing it out with the rubber spatula. Place the pans in the oven side by side.
• Bake the cakes until they are golden brown and spring back when lightly pressed with your finger, 27 to 29 minutes. Remove the pans from the oven and place them on wire racks to cool for 10 minutes. Run a dinner knife around the edge of each layer and invert each onto a rack, then invert them again onto another rack to that the cakes are right side up. Allow them to cool completely, 30 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, prepare the Quick Caramel Frosting.
• Place one cake layer, right side up, on a serving platter. Spread the top with the warm frosting. Place the second layer, right side up, on top of the first layer and frost the top and sides of the cake with clean, smooth strokes. Work quickly, as the frosting will set. (If the frosting gets too hard to work with, place the pan back over low heat for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to soften it up.) Once the frosting has set, slice and serve.
• Store this cake, covered in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, at room temperature for up to 1 week or freeze, wrapped in foil, for up to 6 months. Thaw the cake overnight on the counter before serving.
• Place the butter and brown sugars in a medium-size heavy saucepan over medium heat. Stir and cook until the mixture comes to a boil, about 2 minutes. Add the milk, stir, and bring the mixture back to a boil, then remove the pan from the heat. Add the confectioners' sugar and vanilla. Beat with a wooden spoon until the frosting is smooth.
• Use immediately (while still warm) to frost the cake of your choice or the frosting will harden. If it does harden while you are frosting the cake, simply place the pan back over low heat and stir until the frosting softens up.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and baking soda.
• With a hand mixer cream butter and sugar on medium speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes.
• Add eggs and vanilla and mix until fully combined.
• In alternate batches, add dry ingredients and buttermilk, mixing until just combined.
• Fold in pears with a rubber spatula, scraping sides and bottom of mixing bowl. Transfer batter into the greased and floured 25 cm Bundt cake pan (or a silicone one).
• Bake in the oven for 50-55 minutes at 160C, or until a skewer inserted into center of cake comes out clean. Remove from oven and place pan on cooling rack.
• Using a wooden skewer, poke holes in the cake while it's still warm. Carefully pour the brown butter glaze over cake, making sure it gets in all of the holes. Let cake cool completely before removing from pan.
• When cake is inverted and placed on its serving plate, drizzle as much or as little caramel sauce as you'd like.
• Butter glaze:.
• In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the butter, sugars, and vanilla. Cook until fully melted and allow to brown, being careful not to let the mixture boil.
• Caramel sauce:.
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and water. Stirring constantly with a rubber spatula, heat until clumps form and then melt into thick, amber-colored liquid, being careful not to burn it.
• Carefully stir in the butter until it's melted, 2-3 minutes. Then very slowly drizzle in the heavy cream while stirring. The mixture will bubble and possibly splatter, so be careful. Allow it to boil for 1 minute, then remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow to cool, and reheat as necessary.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Grease and flour a 10-in. fluted tube pan., Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in vanilla; add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and baking soda; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk (batter will be thick). Transfer to prepared pan., Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 45-50 minutes. Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely., For icing, in a small saucepan, combine butter, brown sugar and cream; bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; cool 5-10 minutes. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar; spoon over cake.

Steps:

• Combine heavy cream, butter, vanilla, and salt for caramel sauce in a small saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat until butter is melted and mixture begins to bubble, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and keep warm.
• Combine sugar, corn syrup, and water in a large, light-colored saucepan with high sides. Cook over medium heat, swirling occasionally, until mixture is amber in color, 15 to 20 minutes. Reduce heat to low, and very carefully whisk in reserved cream-butter mixture; stir constantly as caramel mixture will bubble up and steam. Continue cooking over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 more minutes. Remove from heat. Set out 1/2 cup of caramel sauce for the cake, and reserve the remainder for the topping. Allow to cool to room temperature.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-cup Bundt® pan.
• Prepare cake: Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg in a bowl until combined.
• Beat together brown sugar, butter, and white sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, 1 at time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in applesauce, sour cream, reserved 1/2 cup caramel sauce, and vanilla until thoroughly combined. Add in 1/2 of the flour mixture, and mix until just combined. Mix in remaining flour mixture until just combined. Fold in diced apples. Pour batter into the prepared Bundt® pan and smooth into an even layer.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a bamboo skewer inserted into the cake comes out with a just few moist crumbs, 55 to 60 minutes. Allow cake to cool in the pan for 30 minutes. Gently run a knife around the edge to loosen and remove cake to a wire rack and cool completely, 15 to 30 more minutes.
• Just before serving, pour remaining caramel sauce over the top of the cake. If needed, reheat the caramel slightly to make it a pourable consistency.

Steps:

• Cake Batter Preparaton: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Mix eggs together. Add other ingredients. Beat until smooth. Grease Bundt pan. Cook cake for about 40 minutes. The cake will be done when it springs back when you touch it, or use a long toothpick and check that there is no runny interior. Glaze Preparation: Boil glaze ingredients for one minute, stirring constantly. Pour onto cake. Cover with plastic. This cake will keep for two days on counter top.
