    Dublin's Finest Apple Caramel Cake

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe Pin Recipe
    Dublin Apple whiskey cake with whipped cream and caramel.

    While looking for a dessert to serve on St. Patrick's Day, I ran across Dublin's Finest Caramel Apple Cake on Epicurean. It sounded delicious and I had everything on hand but the apple cinnamon quick bread mix. I tend to stay away from boxed mixes so I decided to make the cake, substituting regular dry ingredients for the boxed mix. The recipe below is my reincarnation of Dublin's Finest Caramel Apple Cake.

    After stuffing ourselves with all the traditional St. Patrick's Day fare, we waited until the evening to enjoy a slice of cake with whipped cream. This cake is not very sweet but I like that. Michael would have appreciated a bit more sugar. I must admit that this cake was much tastier the morning after. The apple flavor was more pronounced, the cake was moister, and the lack of sugar was not as evident at breakfast! It was delicious with a hot cup of coffee.
