Miracles On Icing.
Our family loves a good celebration... and we have much for which to be thankful. When planning out the next fête, we'll flip through our recipes to create the perfect menu. Then comes the moment...
"Should we try .... the cake?"
Deep breath. Mrs. LeMaire's Caramel Cake. She's a southern lady, so address her properly ("care-a-mel"). Her buttery interior is simple enough; however making the golden, sugary goodness holding her all together can melt the ego of our most tenured bakers. I can only remember making it twice during my childhood. It's that hard.
Mrs. LeMaire recommended making it "on a cold day". A cold day... in Mississippi? Either way, you need a miracle to get this cake right... but oh, when you do... this cake is everything. EVERYTHING.
I have decided this Christmas, we'll give it a try. My sister and I are older. There's a slight chill in the air. Caramel Cake time - let's geaux.
Here's the recipe.
