This caramel apple cake is a delicious spiced apple cake layered with vanilla and caramel! Made without eggs or dairy, it's a showstopping vegan cake that is SO easy to make!
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Grease and line 2 8-inch cake pans with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine your flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon, and mix well. In a separate bowl, whisk together the rest of your ingredients until smooth. Let sit for 5 minutes.
Gently fold through your dry ingredients into the wet, until just combined. Transfer the cake batter amongst the two cake pans. Bake for 25 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean.
Remove the cakes from the oven and allow to cool in the pans for 30 minutes, before carefully transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cool, frost the cake. Spread half the vanilla frosting on a cake, covered with the caramel. Place the second cake on top and cover with the remaining frosting. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, for the frosting between the cake to firm up.
