Brenda's Caramel Cake
3 sticks butter 2&1/2 cups sugar 1 8oz. pkg. cream cheese 3 cups (all purpose) flour, sifted 6 large eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 3 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoons salt 1 cup buttermilk Cream together sugar, butter, and cream cheese. Add eggs, blending well after each egg. Blend flour, baking powder, and salt alternately with buttermilk. Blend in vanilla extract. Pour into three prepared cake pans. Bake in a preheated oven set at 350 degrees for 30 mins or until toothpick comes out clean. Turn layer out of pans to cool completely before frosting. I sometimes put a cream cheese filling between middle layer. Cream cheese filling: 1 cup sugar 1 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Blend cream cheese and sugar together well then add vanilla. Caramel Frosting: 1/2 cup butter 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar 1/4 cup whipping cream 2 1/2 cups sifted powdered sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Melt butter in a saucepan. Add brown sugar; cook over low heat, stirring constantly, 1.5 mins. or until sugar dissolves. (Do not boil.) Remove from heat. Stir in whipping cream. Add powdered sugar and vanilla. Beat at high speed with electric mixer until frosting is spreading consistency. (My family like a lot of frosting so I just double this recipe.)
