Try this delicious Easy Homemade Caramel Cake topped with a rich salted caramel frosting which will curb your salted caramel craving.
What I love about this cake is I used brown sugar to sweeten the cake and the flavor is very subtle. Of course, the salted caramel frosting stands out like a champ.
I love baking and decorating cakes, but I am not a pro. I always enjoyed watching others decorate cakes and I even took classes at Michael’s so I can learn how to do it. Check out how ugly my cakes were, keep in mind these were the times before Pinterest so I had to come up with my own ideas and these were before all the nice filters and when I was slender. lol
My sister said the one with the vines and flowers cake look like a Grandma decorated it. 😩
For this class, I had to create a cake with written text and I couldn’t think of anything except for what I wrote. 😅
Anyways, this Caramel Cake took me a span of 3 days to finish, but I have to mention I spent about 3 hours working on it each day. I hope you guys enjoy this recipe and please tag me if you recreate this cake. 😄
