  4. In another bowl, mix granulated sugar, dark brown sugar, grated apples, vegetable oil, eggs, sour cream, and vanilla until well combined.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients until just mixed.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. For the frosting: Beat room temperature butter until creamy; gradually add powdered sugar and mix in caramel sauce and vanilla extract until fluffy.
  8. Once the cake cools completely, frost it generously with buttercream and drizzle additional caramel on top.
