Antique Caramel Cake

This cake was one of my favorites. I made it a few weeks ago and although this isn’t a Flashback Friday I needed to start to share a recipe with you.  

This cake is found in the book Baked Elements. It is a classic southern treat so it is not for those without a sweet tooth. The cake itself tastes faintly of caramel and is denser than you would think, but it is still delicious. The frosting is a mouthwatering sour cream concoction which helps to cut down the sweetness. The best part about the cake is the salted caramel glaze. It is truly the best part. I used this guide to help me frost the cake:

This really helped frosting the cake—something I am usually terrible at!
