We know that many bona fide
Southerners would agree with us when we say
that in the good ole days, any Occasion worth celebrating well would be
graced
by a honest-to-goodness Caramel Cake. But don't take our word for it...
"At any southern
church supper, social, or dinner on the grounds, a
caramel cake will most likely vanish before any other dessert. The
perfect caramel cake - without the slightest grain to the icing - is
respected by all cooks; it is particularly relished by the southern
male. Its appearance is no everyday occurrence either, being
reserved for Sundays, birthdays, or holidays..."
~ Bill Neal, in 'Southern Cooking'
By all means, if you
would like to make a project of this cake (especially
if you are entertaining your mother-in-law-to-be this Holiday Season),
let Bill Neal's
Toasted Pecan Caramel Cake recipe be your guide!
If, on the other hand,
you choose to treat your friends and family to
a scrumptious Southern caramel cake without adding stress to your
already hectic Holiday agenda, do give this a try:
Sour Cream Caramel Cake

(Random House)
Serves 15-20
Cake
1 cup (2 sticks) butter
3 cups granulated sugar
6 eggs
2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Easy Caramel
Icing
2 cups packed dark brown sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) butter
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups confectioners' sugar
Preheat the oven
to 350 degrees [F]. Grease and flour three 9-inch
round cake pans or one 13 x 9-inch pan.
For the cake, cream the butter and granulated sugar until fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Sift the flour,
salt, and baking soda together. Alternately add the flour mixture and
the sour cream to the batter, stirring well. Stir in the vanilla.
Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake for 25 to 35 minutes
or until firm to the touch if using round pans, 45 minutes if using the
rectangular pan. Let the cakes cool in the pans for a few minutes,
then turn them out onto cake racks to cool completely.
While the cakes cool, make the icing: In a large, heavy saucepan,
combine the brown sugar, butter and milk. Cook over low heat until
the butter melts. Increase the heat to medium and cook, stirring con-
stantly, for 2 minutes longer. Remove the pan from the heat and stir
in the vanilla. Gradually mix in the confectioners' sugar. Let the icing
cool slightly, then frost the cooled cake.
If you have time on your hands (!) and would like to experiment
with a
variety of Caramel Icings/Frostings, we aim to please!
