Caramel Layer Cake
by Page Barker
(Bradenton, FL)
Hello. My name is Page and I live in FL. I was raised in Huntsville (HSV), AL and am a true southern girl. My grandmother used to make a caramel cake that was 3 layers. She poked holes in these layers and poured some kind of liquid over it, maybe milk sweetened with sugar; I don't know. Then the caramel icing was poured over the 3 layers and it set smooth.
I have tried all kinds of recipes. Some have been close as to the flavor, but the icing is usually a spreadable one, which is not like hers, and no one has had the liquid part to pour over the cakes. It kept them so moist!
She was born and raised in Birmingham, AL. I hope one of you happens to have this recipe for the toppings!
I actually have the cake recipe minus the toppings. She used it for her Fresh Pineapple Cake with divinity icing. She also used it for her Coconut Cake, and her Fudge Cake. All of these cakes had a liquid poured over the layers. The pineapple used the juice from the crushed pineapple, but the others I am not sure. I think the coconut one used the milk from the coconut (they grated their own) and sweetened it with sugar.
Thanks.
