Caramel Cake

I've been reading a book that takes place in the South. And it has made me long for a Caramel Cake. I love caramel. Although, I have never made it myself; I've often thought that I should try it out sometime. Almost what I did today, but not quite. I went for the cake.



Okay, so I tried some new things out. It was a new recipe for me (since I've never made this kind of cake or frosting before). I tried baking the layers with wax paper in the pans. This worked great for sticking. I thought it would give it a nice, wavy sort of look around the edges if I left some excess that came up the sides. This affect only sort of turned out.
The batter was beautiful. However, even though I added some extra flour (due to the altitude here) I think I should have added a little more. This cake sort of sank some as it cooled.

It tastes really good. Even if it's not quite the prettiest thing you've set your eyes on.
