Amish Apple Cake With Hot Caramel Sauce

This is one of our favorite cake recipes, originally published in cooking from quilt country by marcia adams. I modified the caramel sauce a bit and increased the amount of the sauce since it is so wonderful! The cake keeps well and can be reheated briefly in the microwave. Extra caramel sauce is divine over ice cream!!

Steps

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl , cream the butter.
Add the sugar and beat until fluffy.
Add egg and beat until blended , then mix in the baking soda , salt , cinnamon , and nutmeg.
Add the flour and stir just until blended.
Stir in the apples and nuts.
Pour into an oiled 9 inch round cake pan and bake for 30 minutes or until the top springs back when touched lightly in the center.
Prepare sauce.
In a saucepan , melt the butter , brown sugar , and salt.
Bring to a boil , stirring with a whisk , then remove from heat and whisk in the vanilla and the cream.
Serve the cake warm with the hot caramel sauce and a dollop of whipped cream.
The cake gets better as it ages , keeps for a week in the refrigerator , and also freezes well.
It can be reheated in the microwave.
