I read the reviews and proceeded anyway. I don't like all purpose flour for my cakes which is generally what is used for self rising. I mixed my own self rising with cake flour. I have a few recipes that call for it. I find a finer crumb and more tender texture. The cake was excellent. I made larger holes for the delicious filling, excellent. I made the icing but probably needed more cream, it was very hard to spread nicely over the filling on top. Then I was interrupted and couldn't get back to fixing the icing for over an hour. My mistake. Cake was delicious and just what I wanted but it needed to look more presentable. I will try this again very soon .

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

After reading the mixed reviews, I was hesitant about making this cake. I'm so glad I did! With the exception of making a 13x9 cake instead of a layer cake, I followed the recipe exactly and got a moist and decadent cake. I will definitely be making this cake again. FYI, I did have a little batter left over to make four cupcakes, that were equally as good. Can't beat anything with caramel!

I've made this recipe numerous times and it always gets rave reviews. I'm making it again for a dinner party this week (by request, and I read the reviews to see if anyone had neat ideas for presentation. I was surprised at how many people found this dry. I don't find the cake dry at all, and if you pour the filling in big holes in the cake (I always use a wooden spoon it is super moist and the presentation is impressive.

Oh my goodness, this cake is so good it had everyone scraping their plates! I was really worried because a lot of the reviews said the the cake was too sweet, NOT. We finished the cake in a day and my family is requesting another one ASAP.

I made the cake and took it to work as a Christmas present of a friend who remembers his Grandma's carmel cake. He loved it. He said it came close to his Grandma's. It was to sweet for my taste but the other people in the office loved it. It was very moist. People in the office asking me to make another one for our Christmas lunch next week. However I did have some batter left over so I made a small cake in a tiny pan that I had, the cake is just delicious. So I may make just the cake and put a different icing on it or powdered sugar.

This was not too difficult to make, but I think only one kind of caramel should suffice.

I was excited about this recipe - have been trying different ones from the Food Network,so far all being really good and unfortunately, this was one not good. I read the reviews and most were positive, so i ignored the unfavorable ones, I made them into cupcakes, but they were dry and the cake was pretty dull tasting.

I'm really sorry, guys. This cake was very disapointing to me. I made it for my mom for mother's day, and nobody really loved it. All of the components of the cake by themself were awesome, but the light caramel and the dark caramel just seemed to ruin the true flavor of the cake. =(

I made this cake for my sisters 23rd birthday! It was delicious! At first I was intimdated by all the steps but it was worth it and easier than I thought. Im gonna make it again for Easter Dinner. The only thing I would change is the icing I was afraid I'd add too much heavy whipping cream so it was a little stiff. I'll be sure to get it perfect this time! Thanks Paula!
