CARAMEL CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 9-inch cake pans.
• Cream white sugar, 1 1/2 cups butter, and eggs together in a bowl. Beat well.
• Combine flour, baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add to the sugar mixture alternately with milk. Add vanilla extract. Beat until batter makes ribbons when falling from the whisk or beater. Divide batter among the prepared cake pans.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool layers on a rack before icing, at least 1 hour.
• Combine brown sugar, 1 cup butter, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until brown sugar is dissolved, about 3 minutes. Add evaporated milk and continue stirring. Bring to a gentle boil and let bubble for about 4 minutes, stirring constantly to avoid sticking. Remove from heat and allow to cool, about 5 minutes.
• Mix confectioners' sugar and vanilla extract into the butter-milk mixture using an electric mixer until icing caramelizes and thickens to the desired consistency.
• Spread icing onto the cooled cake layers. Stack layers; ice top and sides.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Melt the butter in microwave (or stovetop, if that's the method you prefer). Mix the sugar and butter until well combined. Cool the mix; you don't want to cook the eggs in the next step.
• Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the flour and baking powder. Mix well. Stir in the pecans, salt and almond extract.
• Pour into greased and floured 13x9x2-inch baking pan (I usually just line my pan with parchment paper). Bake for 30 minutes. Cool and top with powdered sugar. Cut into squares and enjoy.
