My auntie passed away this year and she taught me how to cook. But it was killing me not being able to remember the steps to caramel. I got the entire Thanksgiving meal prepared, and couldn't remember the caramel. Thanks so much for this. And funny enough, your beautiful voice reminds me of her. May God richly bless you and your family. Thanks so much for sharing. 💜🙏🏿✝️

What is the difference in this caramel and what we buy out the store ?

[@redridinghood1980]

​@FloJoBum ..this kind is made with love ..the store brand is processed ..this kind lays over your cake much more consistently because its fresh & hasn't been sitn on a shelf~

[@debraneuser7657]

This frosting on a spice cake was my favorite growing up. My mom would make it for my birthday every year. She would whip it after it came off the burner to help it cool and thicken. I lost my mom a year ago, and thought I'd lost this recipe too! I'm so grateful I found this video and I'm going to make a spice cake with this frosting to honor her. Thank you!

[@abundantliving5444]

My mom used to make this all the time. I never stayed in the kitchen to watch her (I always just came after she was done and just fixed a plate). She loved baking. Thankfully she is still with me and will be 70 years old this year. For the last couple of weeks she’s been saying she wants a homemade cake. I’m going to make this and surprise her with this cake. Thanks for sharing!

[@jasonking2943]

Chris you just don't know how many memories you bring back.et me set the stage: My mother's mother (ma) lived in middle Georgia, mother and I lived in South Georgia, we would visit often and when we would visit and turned on the road where she lived I promise you could smell her cooking. She was old school, grew up during the depression, and was a lunchroom manager at the local elementery school.....she could "throw down" in the kitchen with anything but I remember most of all her caramel cakes. Most of the time she had made them before we arrived but I did get to watch her make them from time to time. She made EVERYthing from scratch I don't think she knew what Betty crocker was. She made her cake on cast iron griddles on top of the stove, she used two and would flip them once they were brown and use a plate to trim them once they were cool. She would have 18 layers and toothpicks everywhere! She made the frosting just like you did. When she was in the kitchen she didn't want anyone in there or talking to her she was all business! Thank you so much for allowing my mind to drift back to the 80's for a brief moment, for the duration of this video mrs Chris was my sweet ma!

[@dinard38]

I make caramel slightly different. I use heavy cream instead of milk. I brown the sugar in a few tbl of water. Once I get the desired level of darkness, I drop the butter in there (cold) and heavy cream. Then I cook it down. With heavy cream, it won't take as long for it to thicken. I'll have to try this recipe. I'd like to taste the difference in the two recipes. I'm sure this one is delicious as well. 😋😋😋

[@DesireU]

Thank you for this. I’m going to try it. My Grandmother used to make this back in the 70s. I guess there are several ways to do it, but the end result should be the same- smooth and caramel tasting. I remember her putting some of the granulated sugar in a cast iron skillet and letting the edges of the sugar brown over very low heat. Then she would put in carnation milk and a little pet milk along with the butter. She’d put in a teaspoon of vanilla extract, and stir until it was ready. People would beg her to make caramel cakes for them. I miss that old lady. I really do.

[@annep.watson8276]

My mother used to make hers in a cast iron skillet too.

[@May-vt6zh]

That is exactly how my mom made it and in an iron skillet. She would go out on the back porch and hold that skillet up and stirring it until it cool. I always wondered how she was strong enough to do it. Out of all her sisters hers was the best. I really miss my mom and Granny whom mom learned this from.

[@mildredwood7156]

All you have to do is add brown sugar that's hard work

[@ladyhova1029]

There are several ways to make it. I personally use brown sugar because the white sugar often came out too grainy or required a longer cooking time. I've also used, whole milk, heavy cream or half and half...whatever I have on hand.

[@bsharp1533]

@@mildredwood7156I’d never eat you guys food. Sometimes it’s the extra work that creates a unique dish. Brown sugar would give it a maple syrup type of taste.

[@allbetsRoff60]

You are an excellent clean cook! This caramel icing replicates my Mother's, but my Mother mixed her sugar and evaporated milk together first, then she'd added butter and vanilla, equally a long process but well worth the wait. One thing I forgot, I was so happy to see that you make real caramel, people mistakenly make caramel out of brown sugar and call it caramel and I've never eaten a Kraft caramel or any other real caramel out of brown sugar, thats not real caramel, that's a fake caramel, color generated by brown sugar.

Wow! Thank you for sharing your mother's recipe. When I was a little girl we had a neighbor who cooked the best (carmel) caramel cake I have ever tasted. As an adult I have searched for that similar flavor unsuccessfully. Just looking at your frosting reminds me of that delicious cake. I will try your recipe. About my neighbor/elementary school teacher's recipe. Well of course we all moved away from my childhood neighborhood and she, in her elder years lived in beautiful California with her daughter. She became ill and in her last days had her daughter contact my family and asked specifically for me . By the grace of God I spoke to her daughter and was able to give my love to her mother while she was still alert. Amazingly when I asked for the carmel cake recipe she was alert enough to say "no". We all laughed and I knew my hope of experiencing anything so delightful in a cake was gone. Until now because just listening to your description of what the consistency should be like is what I remember about the thickness and smoothness of that frosting. To look at the beauty of your cake with the frosting brings a warm memory. Thank you for sharing God Bless. By the way, I will look for your other chriscook4u2 recipes.

Nothing like home made Carmel icing,I use brown sugar, it helps with color and a stronger taste. Love your video's,💜🙏

[@Joeanna-mh6df]

Thanks so much for this recipe. I am from the old school. You are the first to make it like my Grandma originally made it, not the new way with brown sugar but to brown the white sugar😊

Thank you so much!!! My husband had a great Auntie that only made this cake for Christmas. She passed away 15 years ago and no one has gotten the caramel icing right!😊

I'm Back Mrs Chris I've made this cake about 15 times and I watch your video each time kinda feels like I'm with my mom ❤❤❤

Ms. Chris I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this recipe. My mom is almost 90 years young and used to make this all the time.Some of her recipes she can't remember. Another of our old time favorite's was a Lane cake. Have you ever heard of it? When ever my sister's and I get together we make one. the recipe is quite involved. Mom was blessed with 18 beautiful children, 10 girls and 8 boys)(mom was born and raised in Alabama) 3 of my sisters and I still enjoy baking from scratch. Watching you cook is a pure pleasure!!! Do you remember where you got the red silicone spatula from you used in this recipe? Many blessings to you:)

I had been looking for a Lane Cake recipe for awhile too - my Mom would make it for special occasions (in Canada, years ago). I found this which looks exactly like what she made. www.mrfood.com/Cakes/Lane-Cake-579

Miss Chris, you'll probably never read my comment, but what a lucky day for me today to have found your channel & become a subscriber...God bless you... Like others' have commented, this delicious looking recipe takes me way back to my childhood, (decades ago) standing behind my beloved Swedish Gramma in her tiny kitchen while she cooked & baked every single day...My favorite desserts were her always her Caramel iced cakes & caramel (or butterscotch) pie & Angel Food cakes with fresh berries...Thank you for your lovely video...Hugs

You did that. Outside of my mom, I've not seen anyone do it the old fashioned way. Thanks

[@kcov2058]

Such a beautiful cake. I make a carmel cake every Christmas a tradition in my familt started by my mother. We use to carmelize our sugar first the boil it in the evaporated milk and butter. Your cake is a beauty!

My momma used to whip this frosting up in no time flat. I know she could make anything taste great. She would stir up her pie crust up in a jiffy them bake the dough on a upside down pie pan. Then fill shell with pudding pie filling. No mixes back then. Everything was totally homemade. Love love you.
