Caramel cake recipe

How to Make Southern Caramel Cake

Even though professional bakers and cooks say to use unsalted butter, I stick with my Grandmother’s instructions instead and use salted butter. It’s just better that way in my book.
Cream your butter until it is fluffy and then add in your sugar. Cream the two together until they are nice and .. well, creamy.
Add in your eggs one at a time and cream them into your butter and sugar mixture.
Now add in your flour and buttermilk alternately. Start with your flour.
Then buttermilk and the rest of your flour.
Add in your vanilla, give it a quick mix.
Pour your cake batter into three prepared cake pans.
Bake at 350 degrees.
Remove from the oven and turn cake out of cake pans onto a cooling rack. Let cool completely.
This is when you’ll have time to make your caramel icing.
