Caramel Cake with Caramel Nut
Makes 3 layer 8 inch cake
Ingredients
Cake:
1/2 cup butter
1-1/4 cups white sugar
4 large eggs, room temperature
2-1/2 cups cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk (I prefer buttermilk)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Frosting:
3 cups white sugar
1 (12 oz.) can evaporated milk
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped walnuts
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Grease and flour three 8 inch round pans. Sift flour, baking powder
and 1/2 teaspoon salt together and set aside. Cream 1/2 cup butter
and 1-1/4 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time,
beating well after each. Add flour mixture alternately with milk.
Add 1 teaspoon vanilla and beat until smooth.
Divide batter into three 8 inch pans. Bake at 350 degrees F for
25 to
30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into cake comes out clean.
Caramel Nut Frosting: In a heavy saucepan, combine 3 cups sugar,
evaporated milk and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and stir until
sugar is dissolved. Lower heat and cook until soft ball stage. Stir
with spatula to keep from sticking.
Remove from heat and cool 5 minutes. Add 1/2 cup butter, 1 teaspoon
vanilla and nuts. Beat until spreading consistency.

Subject: RE: TASHAI SNELL/Peach Question
This is for Tashai Snell's Peach Question:
One pound of fresh peaches equals...
2 - 3 medium peaches
2 cups sliced
1 1/2 cups pureed.
For 4 cups of fresh peaches I would say to buy 4 - 6 medium sized
peaches.

Subject: Cookies from Cake Mixes
Use any flavor cake mix, including the ones with pudding in the
mix.
Add 1/2 cup oil and 2 eggs. mix vigorously and very well. Bake at
350 for 7-10 mins. Watch them! Different flavors need different
amounts of time.
Spice cake mix is just wonderful this way (bake 10 mins). Have a
cup of coffee and warm cookies and you're in heaven! Or add
mini-chocolate chips to a Devil's Food cake mix w/pudding. The mix
will be crumbly but mush it together into the size dough ball you
want for your cookies and bake for 7-8 mins. These are a dream
come true for the chocoholic in your family. Add grated orange
and/or lemon rind to a lemon cake and they too are wonderful! The
combinations are amazing and easy!
