Treat yourself to a Spiced Apple Cake — a delicious pound cake layered with pieces of apple coated in warm spices and topped with honey caramel sauce.
Measure the cream and warm it in the microwave for about 20 seconds. Place it next to your stove, along with the butter.
In a medium saucepan, place the honey, brown sugar, and cream of tartar and cook over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture starts to boil.
Reduce the heat to low and let simmer for about 4 minutes while stirring every 20 seconds.
Pour in the heavy cream while stirring, then add the butter. Stir until the butter is completely melted.
Pour the caramel into a glass container and refrigerate until use and up to 3 days.
Place the apple pieces in a large bowl and sprinkle over the granulated sugar, cinnamon, and clove.
Use a spoon to stir and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C), grease one 10 cups bundt pan butter, and sprinkle with flour. Remove any excess flour, and set aside.
Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl and set aside.
In a bowl of a stand mixer (or with a handheld electric mixer), place the butter, brown sugar, and honey and beat on medium-high speed until lighter in color and fluffy, about 4 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, waiting until each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl, then slowly drizzle in the oil on medium-high speed.
Reduce speed to low, then add the flour mixture in three additions alternating with applesauce. Starting and finishing with the dry ingredients.
Once you add the last portion of the flour, turn the mixer off and use a rubber spatula to mix the ingredients thoroughly.
