Food Porn: Caramel Apple Cake

A big photo is the perfect way to share the big flavors of this amazing looking Caramel Apple Cake from Peabody at Culinary Concoctions. The recipe is an adaptation of one of Paula Deen's favorites, Grandgirl's Fresh Apple Cake. The cake itself is moist and tender. The original uses a lot of pecans and some shredded coconut along with the apples, but this version uses chopped walnuts and raisins to better complement the topping.

Peabody baked the cake in individual-sized cake pans, rather than one large pan, and put together what might just be the most sweetly decadent topping we've seen in a while. It has gooey caramel, caramelized apples and a drizzle of white chocolate, for contrast. As you might expect, this is one sweet dessert, but we suspect that you'll have a hard time putting the fork down once you've picked it up and taken the first bite.

Don't get me wrong, it's luscious smut. I'll have to
get down and dirty with it and try it out.
