Caramel Cake
Cake
1 moist yellow cake mix
1 C. Milk
1/3 Butter, melted and cooled
1 tsp. Vanilla extract
3 eggs
Caramel Frosting
1/2 C. Butter
1 C. Powdered Sugar
1/2 C. Cake batter (reserved)
1/2 C. Evaporated milk
1 tsp. Vanilla.
Preheat oven to 350. Mix all ingredients together for the cake. You can use an electric mixer on a low speed or a wooden spoon. When it is all combined, remove 1/2 C. of batter for the icing. Pour the batter into two greased 8" round pans. Bake for 35-40 minutes and allow to cool.
For icing, melt the butter in a 2 qt. saue pot. Add in the rest of the ingredients and cook for several minutes until the mixture thickens and turns "caramel" colored. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
Remove a cake layer from its pan and place on a plate. Ice the top with caramel frosting. Place on top the next layer and ice the top and sides.
I made this from my mother's birthday (she is Southern) and it was gobbled up before I could take a picture. I can say it is really delicious.
