I have been wanting to make this cake for weeks, finally got it done today. It smelled fantastic baking. A simple cake with most ingredients everyone has in their pantry. The frosting is terrific..the cake is dense and moist with a nice flavor, would be great served with ice cream or fruit on the side. This cake would also be great with a Streusel in the center. Next time I make it I am going to try that. Enjoy! My photo's

How To Make buttermilk cake with caramel frosting

Step 1

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Step 2

Beat in vanilla.
Step 3

Combine the flour, baking powder and baking soda; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, beating well after each addition (batter will be thick).
Step 4

Pour into a greased and floured 10-in. fluted tube pan. ( I used Crisco shortening and flour ) slid right out of pan)
Step 5

Bake at 350° for 40 - 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 6

For icing, in a small saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar and cream. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
Step 7

Remove from the heat; cool for 5-10 minutes. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar until smooth. Drizzle over cake.
