An old-fashioned caramel cake made from scratch is a mainstay in Southern kitchens. Rich and almost as dense as pound cake, it’s topped with delicious caramel icing and a sprinkling of sea salt.

A question! Do you have a receipe for old time prune cake? My mother used to make it for my birthday and she used Swansdown cake flour. I remember that box and picture. I’m 84 yrs old so it’s been at least 75 yrs ago. Thanks, jan
Hi Janice, I'm sorry we've searched the recipe archives and do not see a recipe for Old Time Prune Cake. Happy baking!
the box states best by 6/13/23 is it expired
Hi Felicia, Yes, that box is past the expiration date. We would not recommend you to use it. Happy baking!
It might be possible to cook the caramel icing in a small crock-pot. This would help prevent burning and not requires so much close attention.
Do you have a caramel buttercream frosting recipe? I could not locate anything on your website.
Hi Clarice, There is a Cream Cheese Caramel Recipe on page 8 of our 15 Recipes for Everyday Baking recipe booklet. And Maple Buttercream Frosting on Pg 18. The Maple Buttercream has a similar flavor profile to a Carmel Frosting. Happy baking!
I have made the whipped cream cake numerous times,everyone loves it. It is my most requested cake. I have also made the 1234 cake.Great recipes!
Oh, I am so excited! My mother made a, Caramel Cake, when she was a young lady living at home with her parents, and, I found your, Caramel Cake recipe, here! I've copied it, and, hope to make this cake, soon! The Triumphal Entry, John 12:24, (NKJV). This is a, Holy Bible lesson about, grain, today!
Your caramel icing recipe says 1 1/2 to 2hrs. Do you have a frosting that cooks in less time.
Hi Brenda, Unfortunately it takes that about of time for white sugar to caramelize. The caramel topping in this recipe calls for brown sugar. Using brown sugar will certainly cut back on the cook time. https://swansdown.com/recipes/apple-fritter-loaf-with-salted-caramel-glaze/ Let us know if you try it. Happy baking!
I would like to make this. Are the measurements for the flour supposed to be 3 1/4 cups of flour plus 2 tablespoons?
All of these recipes are
simply delicious looking I must try each one of them at one time or another. I can't thank you enough, it is good to have a cake professional guiding me through these directions. Thank you again very much, I am so glad I found your website.
