Caramel cake recipe
Ingredients:
3 ¼ cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon allspice
¼ teaspoon ginger
pinch nutmeg
½ cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup butter, at room temperature
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 ½ cup applesauce

Procedure:
1. Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans. 
2. In a large bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda and spices.
3. In the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together butter and sugar until light. Add eggs, one at a time, and beat in.  Mix in applesauce and vanilla. 
4. Add half of the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and incorporate fully.  Add milk and mix.   Add remaining dry ingredients and mix until all ingredients are combined.
5. Divide batter into three pans and bake in the oven for about 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove and allow to cool.  

Salted Caramel Buttercream
Ingredients
1/2 cup (120 grams) butter
3/4 cup (150 milliliters) dulce de leche (caramel sauce)
5 cups (1/2 kilogram) icing sugar
1-2 tablespoons (15-30 milliliters) milk
1 teaspoons (5 milliliters) vanilla extract
1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) coarse salt

Procedure:
1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and dulce de leche until fluffy.  
2. Add half of the icing sugar and slowly continue to mix.  
3. With the mixer on low speed, add the vanilla and half of the milk.  Mix until no clumps remain.  
4. Add the rest of the icing sugar and salt, but do not add any more milk until the icing sugar begins to mix together more completely.  
5. Add one or two more tablespoons of milk until desired consistency is reached.  (You will want a thinner buttercream for spreading onto cakes, and a thicker one for piping flowers, or borders.)  
6. Use immediately or store in a sealed container for 2-3 days in the fridge.  If you are storing the buttercream in the fridge, allow it to come to room temperature, and remix it briefly before using.

Additional ingredients:

Gourmet Caramel apples https://youtu.be/swdmjh9yE0k
Dulce de Leche (caramel sauce) 
Smarties (or M&M’s) 
Cake assembly:
1. Cover and stack cake with Salted Caramel buttercream.  
2. Pour chocolate ganache over the top of the cake, and work the ganache over the edges so that the chocolate drips over the side.  Place in the freezer for 5 minutes to set the chocolate. 
3. Pour caramel sauce on top of the hardened ganache, and work sauce towards the edges so that the caramel drips over the side of the cake.  
4. Place caramel apples on top. 
5. Add Smarties as a bottom border, and chopped Smarties to the dripping toppings. 
6. Serve immediately.  The cake will continue to drip ganache and caramel if kept at room temperature.  If not serving right away, keep cake cold in the fridge to help slow down dripping.  The cake is best consumed within 2-3 days.
