Sinfully delicious!!

I just read the book "The Help" - the bestselling book about maids in the South. She keeps talking about a delicious caramel cake. So I HAD to make one for myself to see what the fuss was about.

Thanks for this recipe!! LOVED it. It did harden up throughout the week. But it was so Ooey and gooey and it was SOO good when I just made it. I thought it was better than any cake I would be able to find at my local bakery. It reminded me of these big ooey gooey fluffy cakes they sell on Main Street in Disney World. YUM!

This cake was DIVINE! I still dream about it. However I think I put on 5lbs from eating it. If you are watching your weight or diabetic this is NOT the cake for you. My cake was moist and did not crumble. I didn't use toothpicks to create the holes, I used a wooden spoon handle. I only made 2 layers (3 layers is just too much cake for me. I made cupcakes with the rest. It was great cutting into the cake and eating all that yummy caramel. I also added the pecans like she suggested.

This cake tasted great but it was so crumbly that the whole thing fell apart when i took it out of the cake pans so ultimately it was a failure. I wouldn't know how to fix the recipe to make the cake less crumbly but if anyone could fir that miner detail I would definitely recommend it.

A decadent cake, lots of butter and sugar. The only problem was that it was very dry and leaden- I think the self-rising flour gave it a different texture than fine cake flour would have. Next time, I'll use a different flour.

I really enjoyed this recipe. To those that didn't, it is very important that you use self-rising flour as instructed. It is also imperative that you beat the butter mixture for 6-8 minutes (I washed some dishes and greased and floured my pans, letting my stand mixer do the work in the meantime...this makes it light and fluffy. I believe the cake is supposed to "garnish" the flavors of the caramel and icing, it's a light flavor that is enhanced by it's dressings :

This cake was good, but it needed Substitutions and additions. I used cake flour instead of the regular flour which made the cake moist and not all crumbly. I also used two cake pans instead of three. More butter needs to be added to the cake mixture to make it more flavorful. Then for the frosting you do need to add more cream and be sure to use the frosting while it's hot. Then pour it over the cake and use a spatula vs a knife to spread it out. Other than that is was good. I loved the filling!

Attempting to bake this cake was quite a humbling experience. After over cooking the caramel and having the cake portion end up crumbly I decided to just find one online! Word to the wise, save yourself the difficultly that I experienced and check out Caroline's Cakes.

I actually saw her on the Food Network while looking up videos on exactly how to bake this cake. Her website is CarolinesCakes . com

I enjoyed this cake. My difficulty was getting the "filling" to absorb into the cake. It just sat on the top and I iced over it. I'm sure the cake would have been much tastier if the filing had seeped into the cake. Please tell me where I went wrong.
