APPLE BRANDY PECAN CAKE

Apple Brandy Pecan Cake image

My favorite apple cake is made with a shot of brandy and drizzled with caramel to set off the wonderful flavors. If alcohol is a no-go, use orange juice instead of apple brandy. If you'd rather go the chocolate route, add mini chocolate chips to the cake and use chocolate ice cream topping for the drizzle. -Nancy Heishman, Las Vegas, Nevada
