Caramel Apple Cake Recipe

September 11, 2020 by Faith 31 Comments

This moist Caramel Apple Cake Recipe is warmly spiced, rich with caramel, and has a full pound of apples baked into the cake. And it’s finished off with an easy-to-make vanilla cinnamon buttercream!

I can be such a party pooper when it comes to surprises. Every year before Mike’s birthday, I spend weeks searching for the perfect gift for him. I buy it in secret and then stash it away.

This is all wasted energy. I always, always tell him what it is before his birthday (it’s sort-of a windfall for him, I guess).…

Vanilla Bean Guinness Cupcakes Recipe with Salted Caramel Buttercream (Small-Batch)

March 17, 2020 by Faith 6 Comments

Guinness adds a touch of nuttiness to the buttery, vanilla flavor of this Guinness Cupcakes recipe, and an easy Coffee Salted Caramel Buttercream is the perfect finishing touch! These are definitely grown-up cupcakes with a complex flavor....

Chocolate Whoopie Pies with Maple Brown Butter Frosting and Hazelnut Caramel Crunch

January 1, 2018 by Faith 1 Comment

Chocolate Whoopie Pies with Maple Brown Butter Frosting and Hazelnut Caramel Crunch are soft and chewy with flavor notes of nuts, caramel, and maple. On the first day of the New Year it’s probably more customary to share a healthy new year’s resolution type of recipe. I’m breaking all the rules with these whoopie pies! But they might just be so wrong they’re right....

Soft and Chewy Peanut Butter Salted Caramels

December 20, 2017 by Faith 4 Comments

Soft and Chewy Peanut Butter Salted Caramels are a beautiful balance of sweet caramel and flaky sea salt, with deep notes of peanut butter. We all have our favorite types of candy; that one thing we can’t resist when we see it at the store. Peanut butter cups, cherry cordials, butter toffee, fudge, to name just a few. For me, when I walk by a candy shop and smell fresh-made caramel, it takes every ounce of willpower to resist. That aroma calls me like a siren....

Easy Sugar-Free Turtle Cheesecake Dip

December 12, 2017 by Faith 5 Comments

Thank you to Back to Nature for sponsoring this post. I am happy for the opportunity to share brands that I believe in with my readers, and I hope you enjoy my recipe. As always, opinions stated are my own. Easy Sugar-Free Turtle Cheesecake Dip pairs caramel flavor, pecans, and chocolate in a satisfying cheesecake-like treat. Confession time. It’s hard for me to fully enjoy something like a slice of yellow cake heavy-laden with a thick layer of vanilla bean buttercream (but yuuuum, vanilla bean buttercream). Or a hot fudge sundae with ice cream that’s just starting to melt because of the rich and decadent […]...

Cheddar-Caramel Chicago Mix Cupcakes

June 1, 2015 by Faith 10 Comments

So, Chicago Mix. You sweet, salty, sultry little vixen, you. I think you might very well be the one and only trashy snack from the junk food aisle that tempts me. But you tempt me so badly I avoid that aisle like the plague....

Salted Coconut Caramel Sauce {Paleo}

I know you’re going to see this caramel and think I’m a liar. You’ll think it was made with naughty things heavy cream, white sugar, and bricks of butter....

Skinny Caramel Macchiato Cookies

September 17, 2012 by Faith 33 Comments

Ladies, this treat is for you. Because I know that some afternoons just require a little sweet treat to perk things up. (And afternoon coffee needs a partner, right? ;) ) On one such afternoon when I was brewing up a pot of French press, I decided to take a peek into my pantry to see what I could nibble on along with my coffee. As soon as I opened the door, the overwhelming smell of my favorite caramel extract wafted out. Sadly, it had spilled (no idea how that happened!) but at least it made the entire pantry smell like heaven. And don’t worry, […]...

Caramel-Vanilla Cupcakes for 5 {Vegan}

February 24, 2012 by Faith 35 Comments

This small batch of Caramel-Vanilla Cupcakes yields cupcakes that are deliciously moist and tender…and vegan! If you have a small dinner party and want a great dessert that comes together easily, these are perfect. So, what are you making for dessert tonight? Maybe something like that Caramel Apple Cake I saw on your blog a while ago?, a friend excitedly asked me around 2 o’clock one afternoon. I thought we’d forgo dessert this time, you know, since everyone is trying to eat healthy…, I trailed off. Dead silence from my friend. I guess “eating healthy” doesn’t mean skipping dessert, even for a regular weeknight meal among close […]...

Salted Caramels

October 18, 2010 by Faith 57 Comments

Salted Caramels are easier to make than you might think! Their lovely sweet/salty flavor is addictive and they make a beautiful, festive homemade gift or party treat. This recipe is something I’ve wanted to make for quite a while: the fabulous Ina Garten’s Fleur de Sel Caramels. All of Ina’s recipes that I’ve made in the past have been delicious and this one was no different. I’m sharing the recipe here because I made a few changes to Ina’s original recipe, in both the ingredients and method....
