Caramel Cake Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Grease and flour 3 (9-inch) cake pans.
  • Using an electric mixer, cream butter until fluffy, then add granulated sugar and continue to cream well for 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Add eggs 1 at a time and beat well after each addition; add flour and milk alternately to creamed mixture, beginning and ending with flour.
  • Add vanilla and continue to beat until just mixed.
  • Divide batter equally among prepared pans.
  • Level batter in each pan by holding pan 4 inches above counter dropping it flat onto counter.
  • Do this several times to release air bubbles and assure you of a more level cake.
  • Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
  • ~
  • FILLING: While cake is baking combine butter, brown sugar and milk in a saucepan.
  • Cook and stir over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
  • ~
  • Remove cake layers from oven and allow cake to remain in pan as you prepare to stack and fill.
  • Remove first layer and invert onto cake plate.
  • Pierce cake layer with toothpick over entire surface.
  • Spread 1/3 of filling mixture on cake layer.
  • Top with second layer then repeat process; top with last layer and repeat process again.

  • Cook notes: As you stack layer together, stick with toothpicks to prevent cake from shifting.
  • ~
  • FROSTING: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat and stir in brown sugar and cream; bring to a boil and transfer to mixing bowl.
  • Add confectioner's sugar and vanilla; beat until it reaches a spreading consistency.
  • At this time it may be necessary to add a tablespoon of heavy cream, or more, if frosting gets too thick.
  • Frost cake and sprinkle top with pecan or chopped nuts, if desired.
