+ Everything you need to know about the caramel cake :
The caramel cake in particular is the one I’ve been working on for seven years. Using a frosting technique you might call life changing (if you’re into that kind of exaggeration), you’ve transformed a near-impossible mock-up cake into something that could be easily made in a long afternoon. Rockstar baker, intrepid beginners looking for a project, and caramel enthusiasts – this is the cake for you. You will need a lot of butter, a lot of sugar, and a little patience for this cake, but every single bite is worth it!
The most challenging part about making a caramel cake is making the toppings. Ensure success by having a good dessert thermometer and some patience while you wait for the caramel to soften, cool down, and finally thicken.
You’re baking a pretty regular yellow cake, and you’re replacing some of the granulated sugar with brown sugar for a caramel-like sweetness.
Make sure the cake is cooled and flat before making the icing.
Frosting requires a little experience making candy: first you caramelize some sugar and then turn the caramel into frosted frosting that looks like fudge.
