I made the cake today and the critic I received was it was okay. It was tasteful but didn't tickle the tongue was the response.

I have been a huge fan of Paula Deen for years. I try out her recipes quite often. When baking I will admit I had never made a cake from scratch. I would use a cake mix, not only for convience, but I was a little Intimated to try making one from scratch. I made the caramel cake this weekend. Not only was it delicious, it was very easy. The only change I made to the recipie was omitting the filling, I was worried that it would be overly sweet. It came out beautifully, The cake was moist and tender, and the frosting was delicious as well. It was devoured by my family. I am making the cake again today, It will be my standard go to cake from now on, I will be using chocolate frosting today, in place of the caramel.

I made this recipe for the first time last night and I am a huge Paula fan, however I must give this recipe two thumbs down!
For starters, the cake flavor/texture leaves a lot to be desired and the filing is way too sweet and over powers the not so tasty cake. Also, the Carmel icing is not very flavorful.
I was trying this recipe out before the Holidays with hopes of serving it for Thanksgiving,
but I'll pass!

rule number one when looking for a recipe on here...don't pay attention to the reviews...most of paula's cake recipes start with a classic 1 2 3 4 cake...people say that its "dry" and dense like a pound cake...but what the idiots don't know is that the classic 1 2 3 4 cake IS a pound cake..a recipe that goes back in my family for decades..i knew something was wrong because this is paula deen we're talking about...most of her cakes start with the 1 2 3 4 cake...and on every recipe people say its dry...you can't possibly tell me that EVERY cake paula deen ever made is dry..this cake is so amazing

I just made this for my husbands birthday. It was a huge not only on my husband, but to everyone at the party. Guests couldn't get enough!
My husband is not big on chocolate and it was hard to find him a good cake.
This was beyond perfect and delicious.

This cake was every bit as good as I wanted it to be! My Granddaughter, Alexis, helped me bake this cake and we took it to her Mama's for a cookout the next day. Everyone raved on it! I brought home the leftovers and shared with my neighbors - more raves! My husband and I finished off the last two pieces today. This is a huge, heavy cake that is so delicious. Will definitely be making it again.

The only problem that I had with this recipe was the self-risisng flour. As I was reading all the reviews most people said the cake was very very stiff so I did some research on line and found out all flour is different. So if you use swanson cake flour and 3 teaspoons of bakeing powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt it turns out wonderful... I only reated it high because of the frosting....

Realloy good, but I didn't let the layers cook fully before spooning on the carmel filling making the whole think sink rather alarmingly in the middle. Next time I'll let the cake cool completely and use far less of the carmel sauce. Even as it is I had about a cup of the filling left over.

Before making this cake, I read most of the reviews, I was surprised that there was a lot of cakes that didn't turn out quite right. I was nervous, but followed the directions to a T... and it was sooooo delicious. The cake is very sweet.. but as I have learned, the southerners do not do anything half way. My family ate about a 1/3 of the cake, husband took 1/3 to work and we froze the rest to enjoy another day... like I said, it's sweet. Next time, I will skip the icing and just drizzle the filling over every surface. But my cake wasn't dry, it was very moist and resembled a pound cake to me. I also didn't make the 3 layers, I only made 2 and discarded the extra... don't need to feed an army. Make sure you use sef-rising flour or like I did, substitue baking powder and all purpose flour.
