That columns thing was a bit confusing until I figured out it
didn't really have anything to do with the recipe as run on this
post. Maybe.
The nutmeg and ground cloves could have been part of a screwed
(technical term) line that was a continuation of "1 tsp. cinnamon"
such that it called for a teaspoon of each. Sounded very heavy, but
quien sabe? Maybe it needs to be extra-strong to get through a
Minnesota winter or something.

Wait... as I press my fingers to my brow, I see the ingredients
for a glaze specified in quantities, too...
And... I also see a recipe for a caramel topping that would make
it a caramel apple cake. But no quantities.
No, seriously...
Pastorio
Whatchew talkin' about? Did I mention that I put some caramel on
top of it? I don't think I did. But I did.
Really. Everybody believes you. No. I mean it. Everybody. <LOL>

I'll pour some warm caramel over it and probably skip the powdered
sugar glaze.
Oh, sure. Like you thought of it before I said it here. I'm going to
make the cake and pour dulce de leche over the slices. Now here's
another one that can be *your* idea. Oh, look. It's Barb's Dulce de
leche apple cake from 30 years ago.
Dulce de leche, eh? Sounds like foodbabble to me, Bub. "-)

30 years ago.
30 years ago I was a mere stripling with only three kids and still
only one former wife.

LOL! Pastorio, you gotta just attribute this to "great minds think
alike." I didn't make the cake for today's stretch in Dottie's garage.
AFA the one I baked yesterday, I glazed it and then put some caramel
(from Abdallah's here in Beautiful Suburban Burnsville, Minne-Soda).
Errrm, I should've warmed the caramel first, I think -- I was into its
container with a fork with the idea of artfully drizzling it from the
fork over the glaze. It didn't drizzle very well. Regardless, it was
pretty good. My thought for the one that I didn't make today was to
drizzle the caramel on top of the warm cake and then maybe schmear some
glazey icing over that. I didn't schmear the icing, I didn't drizzle
the caramel, and I didn't make the cake.
Roast chicken for dinner tonight, I'm working on the dressing between
stints at The Widow Dorothy's.It's a slow sales day and a beautiful
autumn day in Minneapolis. you should be here.
