I love those recipes that we all grew up with, they are just too good to miss out on.

A caramel cake made from scratch is worth the extra effort! The frosting is almost candy-like on top of rich buttermilk cake. You’ll be glad this cake has three layers!To Make this Recipe You’ Will Need the following ingredients:

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup of butter.2 cups of sugar.

4 eggs.

3 cups of self-rising flour.

1 cup of buttermilk.

2 tsps of vanilla.

Southern caramel icing recipe (double the recipe).

INSTRUCTIONS:

In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and stir in the sugar and beat for about 8 minutes.

Blend in the eggs one at a time then add flour alternately with buttermilk.

Prepare 3 9 inch cake pans and pour the batter evenly in the pans.

In a preheated oven to 350° bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
