I only made the icing and it was fabulous and so EASY! for a 3 layer cake you need to 1 1/2 the recipe. I did 1 cup butter to 1 cup brown sugar Or 1 1/2 cup butter to 1 1/2 cup brown sugar, And did not need all the box of Powered sugar for one recipe. only used about 3 cups, adding a little at a time til consistency I wanted. Perfect ! Great ! Thanks!!!!
I made this for a friend’s birthday celebration. I did split each layer (making it a 6 layer cake) and I made 1 1/2 recipe of the icing so I would have plenty. It was a HUGE success–everyone loved it! My only issue was getting the icing smooth, as it hardened up once it cooled and was rather difficult to deal with getting around the sides of the cake. I would make it again and perhaps not add quite as much confectioner’s sugar to the icing.
Five stars!! Very good recipe! The only change I made (just my preference) was to at a few tablespoons of cornstarch to the caramel sauce. I like mine to be a little thicker consistency. Well done!
I made this for a birthday cake and it was a hit for the birthday person and the others in the family. The icing was so thick that I could hardly spread it, but it was mmm mmm good. I found myself scraping the bowl I made the icing in to get all I could. Others who tried this said I could make this for them any time I wanted to.

INGREDIENTS:
3 sticks butter
3 cups sugar
5 eggs
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/4 cups whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
How to make it :
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Cream the butter, sugar and eggs together and beat well. In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients. Add the dry ingredients alternately with the milk, and then add vanilla. Beat in a mixer bowl or with a hand mixer until the batter “ribbons.” Pour batter into three greased and floured 9-inch cake pans. Bake for about 30 minutes and use a toothpick to check to see if it is done. This cake can also be made in a 9-inch x 13-inch pan, which will need to be baked for about 45 minutes. Cool layers on a cake rack before icing.
Caramel Icing
Ingredients:
2 sticks butter
1 (16 oz.) box of light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup evaporated milk (canned)
2 cups sifted confectioner’s sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
How to make it :
Place butter, brown sugar and salt in a saucepan. Heat, stirring until the brown sugar is well dissolved. Add milk and continue stirring until blended. Let bubble (at an easy boil) for approximately 4 minutes. Stir constantly to avoid sticking. Set hot mixture aside to cool for several minutes. Using mixer, add confectioner’s sugar and vanilla. You will see it turn lighter and caramelize. When you’ve reached the desired consistency, ice the cake, placing some of the icing between the layers.
