Spiced Apple Cider Cake with Salted Caramel Icing

If a Spiced Apple Cider Cake with Salted Caramel Icing doesn't scream Autumn, then I just don't know what does. This modified box cake recipe is a simple, fun, tasty twist on dessert.

Spiced Apple Cider Cake with Salted Caramel Icing

Spiced Apple Cider Cake Ingredients:
  • one box vanilla cake mix
  • ingredients to prepare boxed cake mix
  • 5 packets spiced apple cider drink mix

Spiced Apple Cider Cake Directions:

  1. Add apple cider drink mix to box cake mix and prepare cake per package directions.
  2. Allow to cool completely before icing.

Salted Caramel Icing Ingredients:
  • 1 & 1/2 cups caramel candy cubes
  • 1 container vanilla icing
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon salt (taste as you go)

Salted Caramel Icing Directions:
  1. Melt caramel candies in the microwave (cook in 20 second increments and stir between, until melted through), it should yield approximately 1 cup when melted.

Instead of melted caramel cubes, what do you think about using an organic caramel dip\syrup instead? Would the frosting be too runny?

I did end up using a caramel sauce instead of the melted caramels, and it worked GREAT!! There's a photo of the cupcakes I made over at my blog... Rachels' Photo A Day: Day 521 if you're curious. GREAT recipe, so yummy!
