Southern Caramel Cake

The funny thing about this cake is a lot of people did not become familiar with it until the movie “The Help” mentioned it. After the movie was released in theaters, I saw tons of replicas of this classic cake online .
I found this recipe and I decided to make it for my family ,im So glad to have found it.

the whole family LOVED it,they said it taste like our grandmother use to make hers.. My mom said this cake was best cake on the dessert buffet (that means better than her cakes too). I’m a star!! Or should I say this cake made me a star. One of my aunt’s said it tasted just like my mother’s. This is a tough crowd so that’s really high praise.
Give this recipe a try, you will not be disappointed.
