Y'all ready for a baking adventure sweeter than a Georgia peach? Buckle up, sugar plums! We're diving into the delicious world of Southern Caramel Cake. This ain't your average cake walk - it's a two-step with destiny!
The Star-Studded Ingredient List:
For the Cake (AKA The Fluffy Cloud of Happiness):
2 cups + 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (sifted, because we're fancy)
1/4 tsp salt (just a pinch, like a Southern lady's manners)
2 cups sugar (sweet as a summer day)
2 sticks unsalted butter (because butter makes it better)
1 cup water (straight from the well, if you're feeling authentic)
1 tsp baking soda (the secret fizz)
1/2 cup milk (from a happy cow, preferably)
2 large eggs (farm-fresh, if you've got 'em)
1 tsp vanilla (because plain is just boring)
For the Caramel Icing (AKA Liquid Gold):
3 cups granulated sugar (divided, because we're complicated)
1 stick butter (yes, more butter. Don't question greatness)
1 cup heavy cream (the heavier, the better)
A pinch of salt (to make the sweet even sweeter)
2 tsp vanilla (double the fun)
