Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 2 cups peeled and diced apples (about 2 medium apples)
- 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- Optional: additional caramel for drizzling over the top
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the diced apples gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, drizzle the top of the cake with the caramel sauce and, if desired, add extra caramel decorations.
- Slice and serve, enjoying the caramel and apple flavors in every bite!
