What you’ll need:
¾ cup butter, softened
1½ cups granulated sugar
2 tsp vanilla
3 eggs
1 cup sour cream
¼ cup milk
3 cups all-purpose flour
1½ tsp each baking powder and baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp salt
3 Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored and grated
1 cup chopped pecans
Caramel Sauce:
2⁄3 cup granulated sugar
½ cup butter
2 tsp lemon juice
5 tbsp whipping cream (35%)
Direction:
In large bowl, beat together butter, sugar and vanilla until fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Beat in sour cream and milk.
Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; stir into butter mixture. Stir in apples and three-quarters of the pecans. Scrape into greased and floured 10-inch (3 L) Bundt pan, smoothing top.
Bake in 325°F (160°C) oven until cake tester inserted in centre comes out clean, 1 hour. Let cool in pan on rack for 10 minutes. Turn out onto rack; let cool completely.
Caramel Sauce: Meanwhile, in saucepan, cook sugar, butter and lemon juice over medium heat, stirring, until sugar is dissolved and butter is melted. Cook, without stirring, until light amber colour, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; standing back and averting face, stir in cream. Return to heat; cook until slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Pour into large bowl; let cool to lukewarm.
Pour half of the caramel sauce over top of cake; sprinkle with remaining pecans. Serve cake with remaining caramel sauce alongside.
