A 3 layer cake with caramel nut frosting. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter |
1 1/4 cups white sugar |
4 eggs |
2 1/2 cups cake flour |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 cup milk |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
3 cups white sugar |
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk |
1 pinch salt |
1/2 cup butter |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 cup chopped walnuts |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 8 inch round pans. Sift flour, baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt together and set aside.
2. Cream 1/2 cup butter and 1 1/4 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Add flour mixture alternately with milk. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla and beat until smooth.
3. Divide batter into three 8 inch pans. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into cake comes out clean.
4. Caramel Nut Frosting: In a heavy saucepan, combine 3 cups sugar, evaporated milk and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and stir until sugar is dissolved. Lower heat and cook until soft ball stage. Stir with spatula to keep from sticking. Remove from heat and cool 5 minutes. Add 1/2 cup butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla and nuts. Beat until spreading consistency.
