Easiest way to soften butter…Use the “defrost” button. Softens without melting. I love this cake. I boil the sweetened condensed milk(the lazy way). Edit: Bakers Hack - Once cakes have baked; allow to cool. Once cooled about 10 minutes on bakers rack. Wrap in plastic wrap for 30 minutes. Unwrap, and frost as desired. Moisture like you would not Believe!🙅🏾‍♀️ TFS

Great tip!!! Thanks for sharing! 🤗💗

Tracie Tracie Tracie I've used this recipe for a caramel cake, a summer cake with cream cheese frosting, and I used it switching out the cake mix to chocolate add the chocolate pudding and your secret coffee. This is magic. I know people still beg you to make cakes. You are creating a school of bakers trust me. Thank you so much for your willingness to share. I hope your baking school for the youth expands quickly. That's the plug. Thank you!!!!

Hello Tracie. This is my first time visiting your channel and I must say, you did that!! Your cake turned out beautiful. I learned to make cakes from boxed cake mixes until I advanced in my cooking and now make all my cakes from scratch as well. I remember my late cousin Sadie (RIP) who was the baker in our family making caramel cake. Sometimes she would add either pecans or walnuts on the outside. I haven't had caramel cake since she made it when I was a kid. Thanks for sharing your recipe and I'll be checking out the frosting video and more videos on your channel.

[@lauramurphy1072]

That looks amazing! My thought is if it involves mixing any ingredients and baking and frosting it, that makes it a homemade cake! If it comes out slightly imperfect then that means you made it at home, with love! I’ll definitely try this recipe. Thanks for sharing! ❤ Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family.

I'm also looking forward to making what looks like a pretty simple caramel icing...yum. Thanks so much!
