Today, I’m sharing a Salted Caramel Apple Poke Cake that I made for a DoTerra party that I hosted this past weekend. I’ve been using essential oils in my daily epsom salt and bentonite clay baths to help me relax a bit more. So when Maureen, my daughter-in-love asked to me to host a party for her DoTerra business, I thought it would be a perfect fit since I use them quite a bit. We were all set to have the DoTerra essential oils party in early summer but unfortunately that’s when I miscarried the twins and we had to cancel it. Maureen graciously understood and waited ever so patiently for me reschedule. In case you are wondering…Yes, we are still standing on God’s promises for there is absolutely nothing to hard for Him.
Well the Salted Caramel Apple Poke Cake was a great success!! You know how much I love and gotta have my Salted Caramel Goodness so this was another fantastic way to use it. Everyone loved it and it’s super simple to make. I used a boxed mix for those readers that want something a bit more simplistic but the Salted Caramel Goodness gives it that homemade touch. Goodness makes me think of the Psalm 34:8 scripture, “Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.” His goodness is so personal in that He meets our individual needs with it. This same goodness draws us closer and closer to Him and in turn causes us to share His goodness with others. In what ways has God been good to you this week? Say Grace and enjoy!! ?

This sounds like a lovely cake, and perfect for fall! I hope that you continue your emotional and physical healing from your miscarriage. I know from personal experience that it is indeed a tough journey.
Thanks Jenni!!! It certainly is!! Sorry to hear about your loss/es. God is forever faithful and I draw daily from His strength. Each passing day makes it a wee bit easier. 🙂
With fresh apple season in full swing, this cake looks like the perfect way to use them. What a crowd pleasing dessert.
Thanks Chef G!! I actually took a shortcut with this recipe and used canned apple pie filling for those that requested something more simplistic. My Salted Caramel Apple Dump Cake would be a great way to use up those fresh apples. Thanks for stopping by!!
I’m a big fan of salted caramel – had to click over to see your recipe for that too. This cake looks absolutely delicious!
Thanks Jill!! I could just swim in the stuff!!! 🙂
What perfect fall flavours for a drool-worthy cake! That drippy salted caramel looks like liquid gold.
Liquid Gold for the win!!!! Thanks Jacquee!!
Oh boy, all my favorite things all in one! I may have just drooled…
Haha!!! It’s working!! 🙂
Would caramel ice cream topping work?
Hi Stephanie! I haven’t tried that so unfortunately, I can’t speak to it. Let me know how it turned out.
