1-2-3-4 cake with caramel icing
Cake:
1 cup butter (2 sticks)
2 cups sugar
3 cups flour
4 eggs -- well beaten
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Icing:
1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
1 cup dark brown sugar -- firmly packed
1/4 cup milk
2 cups powdered sugar -- well sifted
Preheat oven 350°. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar
together with an electric mixer till smooth, add the eggs and
continue beating till smooth. In a bowl, mix the flour and baking
powder together and add alternately with the milk to the butter
mixture, beating steadily till smooth. Add the vanilla and beat till
well blended. Grease and flour three 9 inch cake pans, divide the
batter evenly among the pans, "spank" the bottom of the pans to
distribute the batter evenly, and bake till a straw inserted in
centers comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool completely.
Meanwhile, to make the icing: melt the butter over low heat in a
saucepan, add the brown sugar and milk, bring to a boil, and remove
from the heat to cool. Add the powdered sugar and mix till well
blended. When the cake layers are cooled, remove from the pans, place
one layer on a cake plate, and spread one third of the icing on the
layer. Place a second layer over the icing and spread with more icing.
Top with the third layer and
spread icing over the top and around the sides.
