Bobby Deens Caramel Cake Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • For the cake:
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Grease and flour 3 (9-inch) cake pans.
  • Using an electric mixer, cream butter until fluffy.
  • Add granulated sugar and continue to cream well for 6 to 8 minutes. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating 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 3 or 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.
  • For the filling:
  • While cake is baking, in a saucepan, combine butter, brown sugar, and milk.
  • 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 pans as you prepare to stack and fill. Remove first layer and invert onto cake plate.
  • Pierce cake layer with a toothpick over entire surface.
  • Spread 1/3 of filling mixture on cake layer.
  • Top with second layer, repeat process.
  • Top with last layer and repeat process again.
  • *Cook's Note: As I stack layers together, I stick them with toothpicks to prevent cake from shifting.
  • For the frosting:
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat and stir in brown sugar and cream.
  • Bring to a boil, and transfer to a mixing bowl.
  • Add confectioners' sugar and vanilla.
  • Beat with a handheld electric mixer 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.
  • Just be sure to add cream is small amounts because you can always "add to", but you can't take away.
  • Frost cake and sprinkle top with chopped nuts, if desired.
