Southern caramel cake

There is something about caramel that really gets me going. I’m not sure if it’s the butterscotchy flavor or the smooth texture, but man, am I hooked on the stuff. So you can imagine how thrilled I was to learn about this recipe for Southern caramel cake. The cake is incredibly moist and it’s frosted with a ton of tasty caramel.

This cake is perfect for warm afternoons when you want something sweet without feeling weighed down. The cake itself is very light – a very classic yellow cake – so you won’t feel too guilty about eating a slice. The super sweet frosting, on the other hand, might make you feel a little ashamed. It’s decadent and sinfully good.
