  • Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease and flour two cake pans.
  • Cream the butter with the sugar in a mixer, add the eggs one by one, mix in the sifted dry ingredients alternating with the liquids, beat until you get a creamy and homogeneous mixture. Finally, incorporate the grated apple.
  • Pour the mixture into two greased pans and bake for 30 minutes or until the bread is completely fluffy. Unmold, cool, and set aside.
  • For the caramel frosting, in a small pot over low heat, melt the sugar and cook without stirring until it turns amber. Add the butter and cook for 4 minutes or until melted. Turn off the heat and add the heavy cream, mixing until incorporated. Let it cool.
  • Reserve half of the previous mixture for the caramel ganache. Place the other half in a bowl and gradually add the powdered sugar and milk, beating with a whisk until you get a frosting.
  • Cover the cake with the frosting thoroughly, refrigerate for 10 minutes.
  • Heat a pot over medium heat with water and place the ingredients for the chocolate ganache until melted and combined. Remove from heat, cool a bit, pour the ganache over the cake, and refrigerate for another 15 minutes.
  • To the reserved caramel half, add the heavy cream and cover the cake. Refrigerate for another 15 minutes.
