tray cake! caramel buttercream?

Yes: it's an apple cake with RLB's caramel silk meringue buttercream. This experiment questioned why fruit cakes never seem to be paired with buttercream. The spicy strength of the apple cake overwhelmed the delicateness of the buttercream. On day 3, served cold, the buttercream began to assert a presence, but it's not worth the hoo-haw of making this icing. A basic caramel sauce (as the recipe recommended) would have been far easier and a better compliment.
