Do you drain the crushed pineapple or leave the juice? That sounds good.

This one has been a family favorite for a long time. It's not too sweet so it makes a great coffee cake, or it's great served with fruit. You can make it in a bundt pan, tube pan, or whatever. I made it at Christmas time in the NordicWare Bundt pan that looked like a ring of Christmas trees and it came out great.

Well, down South where I live, everybody knows there's nothing better than a piece of caramel cake just iced, and still warm from the oven! Around here, you can even by cartons of caramel frosting that someone sells from a business they started in their home. Who knew????
Anyway, today I'm baking one of our very favorites---Caramel Cake. My kids will have a surprise when they come home today!
BTW, Deb, I'm going to have to try your apple cake and caramel frosting. We love caramel on anything----especially the spoon!
Caramel Cake
1 pkg yellow or white cake mix (I use the cheap store brand)
1 cup milk (whatever's in the icebox--2%, whole, or even 1%)
1 stick butter, melted (I never substitute margarine on this--butter's best!)
3 eggs
2 tspns. vanilla
Mix all this up for 2 minutes, scraping the bowl as you mix. Pour into a 13 X 9 pan (greased or sprayed with Pam) and bake for about 30 mins. at 350 degrees. Ice with Caramel Icing (to follow)
Caramel Icing
1 stick butter (again, I don't substitute here unless it's a dire emergency! )
1 cup brown sugar (I use light brown and pack it well)
1/4 cup milk (again, whatever's in the icebox will do--no buttermilk though)
2 cups powdered sugar
1 tspn. vanilla
Cook butter, brown sugar together on low heat, stirring constantly, to a boil and boil for 2 mins.. This is a low boil with little bubbles appearing--remember low heat. Remove from the heat and add the milk and stir it well again, putting it on low heat and bringing it back to a boil. Now remove from the heat and add the powdered sugar and vanilla. At this time I like to throw in a few marshmallows to make it a bit more creamy---probably about 4 or 5 large ones. Beat the icing until smooth (I use a wire wisk) and then pour over the warm cake. Try to convince kids that all the icing was put on the cake, while secretly having a special spot waiting to hide said spoon . Now, go find a quiet corner, grab a glass of milk, and enjoy the warm caramel from the spoon. Then, after holding off kids long enough, cut the cake and serve it warm with cold glasses of milk. Yummmmmmm!!!
