Caramel Frosting Recipe

Ingredients:

1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup milk
2 to 3 cups powdered sugar (as needed for consistency)
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions:

Melt Butter and Brown Sugar: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the brown sugar and stir constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved. This process will take a few minutes, and it's important to keep the heat low to prevent burning.
Add Milk: Once the sugar is dissolved, slowly add the milk to the saucepan, stirring continuously. Increase the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Boil: Allow the mixture to boil for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. This step helps in thickening the mixture to the right consistency for frosting.
Cool Mixture: Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the caramel mixture cool slightly for a few minutes. It should be warm but not too hot when you add the powdered sugar.
Add Powdered Sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar, starting with 2 cups and mixing well after each addition. You can use a whisk or an electric mixer for a smoother consistency. Add more powdered sugar as needed until the frosting reaches your desired thickness and spreadability.
Add Vanilla (Optional): Stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
Use Immediately: Once the frosting reaches the right consistency, use it immediately to frost your cake or cupcakes as it will thicken as it cools.

Tips:

Consistency: If the frosting becomes too thick, you can thin it out with a little more milk. If it's too thin, add more powdered sugar.
Storage: If you need to store the frosting, keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat gently and stir well before using it again.
This caramel frosting is rich, buttery, and has a deep caramel flavor that pairs wonderfully with a variety of cakes and cupcakes, especially chocolate or vanilla flavors. Enjoy your baking! 🍰🧁🍯

Old Fashioned Butter Cake

This beautiful cake recipe is a 100 year old treasure and a keeper! This recipe was discovered in an old McCall’s cookbook published in 1910, and you will fall in love with this fluffy, moist, easy-to-prepare cake.

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
1 1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350*F. Grease and flour two 8 inch x 2 inch baking pans and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
Add butter, milk, and vanilla. With a hand mixer, beat for 2 minutes, occasionally scraping down the sides of the bowl.
Add eggs and beat for 2 minutes more.
Pour batter into prepared pans, dividing equally between the pans.
Bake 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from oven.
Cool in the pans for 10 minutes and then turn cakes out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
Frost with your favorite frosting. I used my favorite chocolate frosting, the one on the back of the Hersey’s cocoa can.
“Perfectly Chocolate” Chocolate Frosting
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter or margarine
2/3 cup Hershey’s cocoa
3 cups powdered sugar (confectioners’ sugar)

1 teaspoon vanilla
Melt butter. Stir in cocoa. Alternately add powdered sugar and milk, beating on medium speed to spreading consistency. Add more milk if needed. Stir in vanilla. About 2 cups frosting.

Classic Southern Caramel Cake
1 cup butter (2 sticks)
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
3 cups flour, self-rising
1 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons vanilla
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare three 9-inch cake pans by greasing them and adding optional parchment paper. Beat butter until light and fluffy and then add sugar and beat for about 5 more minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, and mix well after each. Add flour and buttermilk, alternately, beginning and ending with flour and mix well after each. Add vanilla and beat well. Divide among pans and bake for 25-30 minutes until set.
Turn out of pans onto cooling racks and allow to cool completely. Prepare Southern Caramel Icing as cakes are cooling then frost the cake.
Southern Caramel Frosting
2 cups sugar
1 cup buttermilk
½ cup Crisco
½ cup butter
1 teaspoon baking soda
Mix all ingredients in a 3-4 quart cast iron dutch oven.
Swirl pan to keep ingredients moving in the pan. Cook to softball stage 235º – 245º on a candy thermometer or when tested in a cup of cold water. Remove from heat and beat with a wooden spoon until creamy and ready to spread.
No thermometer? Do the cold water test:
Take a some of the caramel and drop it into a bowl or cup of cold water. Give it a few seconds to cool. Fish around in the bowl or cup of cold water and try to retrieve the caramel and make a little ball with it.
If you stick your fingers into the bowl, pull out a gooey mess and you can't do anything but smear the caramel, you need to boil the caramel some more. There is still too much water in your caramel and the concentration of sugar is too low. The caramel may even form little threads in the water, but if you cannot get the threads to form into a ball, you have some more boiling to do
