Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a bowl, combine granulated sugar, vanilla extract, whole eggs, and vegetable salad oil, mixing by hand.

In another bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, cinnamon, and baking soda.

Add the sifted dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until incorporated.

Switch to a spatula and add diced granny smith apples, mixing gently until well combined.

Spray a ring cake mold with nonstick baking spray.

Pour the batter into the prepared ring cake mold, spreading it evenly.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the cake springs back when touched and a toothpick comes out clean.

Once baked, let the cake cool slightly before transferring it to a cake stand.

Dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar.

Drizzle caramel sauce over the top of the cake.

Sprinkle fresh raspberries on top for decoration.

Optionally, add walnuts or pecans for extra flavor and crunch.
