Apple Bundt Cake with Caramel Cream Cheese Frosting

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 cups cane sugar
• 1 1/2 cups canola oil
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 3 cups apples

  diced
• 1 cup chopped walnuts

  (optional)
• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons salted butter
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon caramel extract
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup whole milk

Instructions

• 1 Pre-heat the oven to 350°.
• 2 Mix together the sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla.
• 3 Whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
• 4 Mix the dry ingredients together with the wet ingredients, adding in the apples
  as well; it will make a very stiff batter.
• 5 Nuts are an optional add-in at this point. I highly recommend chopped walnuts,
  but save back 1/4 cup for the top of the cake.
• 6 Pour the batter into a well greased bundt cake pan.
• 7 Bake at 350° for about 45 minutes to an hour, or until a toothpick inserted in
  the cake comes out clean.
• 8 Once you remove the cake from the oven, let it sit in the bundt pan for about 10
  minutes.
• 9 Remove the cake from the bundt pan, and allow to cool completely.
• 10 Meanwhile, mix up the ingredients for the frosting, including the cream cheese,
  salted butter, vanilla extract, caramel extract, powdered sugar, and milk.
• 11 Mix well, making sure there are no lumps; the frosting should easily pour from a
  measuring cup.
• 12 Once the cake has cooled, pour the frosting evenly over the top of the cake. It
  will run down the sides of the cake.
• 13 Sprinkle walnuts over the frosting. Then slice and serve!
