Spicy-Sweet Thanksgiving Cakes

This Flavorful Dessert Incorporates Apple, Thyme & Salted Caramel

This Thanksgiving cake has it all: fruit, spice and salted caramel.

The apple and thyme cake with salted caramel frosting incorporates all the familiar flavors of Thanksgiving cravings. The warm, rich taste and fluffy texture are perfect for fall days and even better if you have a trunk full of apples from a day at the orchard.

Inspired by the taste of caramel apples, the sweet and salty caramel frosting complements the apple pieces peppered throughout the cake's base. The Thanksgiving cake can be garnished with any combination of fall-themed treats, but the recipe suggests apple chips, toffee bits and white chocolate balls.

This Thanksgiving cake is a beautiful addition to any table, perfectly capturing the spirit of the holiday in both look and taste.
