Caramel Cake with Caramel Icing Recipe

Have you ever made a Caramel Cake with Caramel Icing recipe? It’s a classic Southern treat! But instead of a layer cake, I made it into a thin sheet cake. Less time baking, more time eating, I say! It’s really easy to put together.

Ingredients
For the cake

•  1 cup salted butter (2 sticks)
•  1 cup water
•  2 cups brown sugar
•  2 teaspoons vanilla
•  2 cups flour, spooned and leveled
•  1/2 teaspoon salt
•  1 teaspoon baking soda
•  1/2 cup sour cream
•  2 large eggs

For the icing

•  3/4 cup salted butter (1 and 1/2 sticks)
•  3 and 1/2 cup brown sugar
•  1/2 cup plus 1/3 cup evaporated milk
•  1/4 teaspoon salt
•  1 and 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12x18 inch* sheet pan with parchment paper, or just spray it well with nonstick spray (or grease with butter).
2. In a medium saucepan, melt 1 cup butter and 1 cup water over medium high heat. Add 2 cups brown sugar and stir occasionally until it comes to a rolling boil (that means bubbles all the way across the top, not just the edges.)  Remove from heat once it has come to a full boil. 
3. Let it cool for a couple minutes, then add 2 teaspoons vanilla. 
4. Add 2 cups flour to the pot, but don't mix yet. Add the salt and baking soda on top of the flour and use a small spoon to stir it into the flour (You don't want to accidentally get a chunk of salt or soda in your cake, ew). 
5. Use a whisk to stir the flour mixture in. Try to get all the lumps out.
