Expert Tips

The apple garnish adds a special touch, but the cake is also delicious when you skip the apple wedges.

Small crab apples with stems, if they’re available, can be used instead of the apple wedges. There’s no need for the orange juice, and everyone gets an apple!

This is a great fall recipe! My only problem was that my carmel wasn''t thick enough, so it somewhat absorbed into the surrounding cake. Nonetheless - it is a keeper!

This cake tasted EXCELLENT! I adore the taste of the chocolate and caramel together. My only problem with it is that when I made it, my caramel, was not thick enough so the icing was slightly runny. It was excellent nonetheless.
