The Help Caramel Cake

After reading the book The Help for the 5th or 6th time I figured it was time to give Minny Jacksons cooking a try. She is said to be the best cook in Jackson, Mississippi and I wanted a chance to try.

The book and the movie are both amazing, but they never mention Minnys Caramel Cake in the movie....I suppose her special pie was that much more interesting. But my stomach was set on trying caramel cake and hopefully this is what Kathryn Stockett had in mind.

Here is the recipe I used:

Buttermilk Cake

1.5 Sticks Butter
1.5 c. Granulated Sugar
4 Eggs
1 T. Vanilla Extract
1.5 c. Cake Flour
2.5 t. Baking Powder
1/2 t. Salt
1 c. Buttermilk

Caramel Icing

1.5 Sticks Butter
2 c. Granulated Sugar
12 oz. Evaporated Milk
1 t. Vanilla Extract
1 T. All-purpose Flour
Pinch of Salt

-Just follow the steps in my video and enjoy!! :-).

I'd love to read some other great stories so if there are any other fellow bookworms out there that have a novel idea for me to try please leave a comment below! Did you try the recipe? What did you do to make it your own? Let me know, I love hearing how people experiment...
