old fashioned caramel cake

Yall their are alot of Caramel Cake recipes out there but this is the ONE true version. My great great grandmother said this recipe frosting came from the slavery era. The key is not the cake but the FROSTING. My great great grandmother would just bake a plain yellow cake from scratch and use this frosting. I in turn just doctor up a cake mix. I would have baked it and put a photo up but I am on a diet and it is too tempting.
